King of Grouch(o)

The kids gave me a lovely lie in this morning - getting their own breakfast and playing quietly enough that I could snooze on past 8! Luxury indeed. There'd been a lot of dressing up going on - this was Conor's favourite combo.

Later Katherine had her first ever public piano performance in Haddington. It was part of a concert organised by her teacher. She had been fine about it - surprisingly confident in fact - but lost it as soon as we got in the room. After a lot of tears and confidence building she managed to get up there when it was her turn - and did just fine. Phew! Conor, meanwhile, was happily watching something on the iPod but when the batteries ran out - so did his patience with the whole idea of sitting still on a Saturday afternoon. So he had to be taken out, leaving Katherine there to enjoy the rest of the show. Conor didn't take too kindly to this and howled for most of the rest of the concert (out on the street). Hence the title. Of course he was sweet-tempered by the time it finished. Hope these rages are a brief phase.
