The Tiggle, my youngest little monster!

My boys are wearing me out a lot at the moment and it's hard to stay cheerful and positive. I've discovered that a great way of breaking a negative situation or chain of behaviour is to whip out the camera. Not only is it a great distraction for the fearsome foursome, it's the perfect way for me to look at each of my beautiful babies and see them clearly again, through the viewfinder, rather than through the fog of exhausted parenthood that generally clouds my vision these days! Looking at these photos, and this one in particular, how can I fail to see the bright, playful, mischievous little monkeys I love so much, rather than the demonically possessed troublemakers I often feel I live with.
