Christmas temptations

Despite my best endeavours, the temptations of gifts lying below the Christmas tree are just a little too much for one little curious boy.

In other news, arriving to pick Reuben up from school today, I was handed a homemade picture by one of Reuben's older friends, Joseph. So touched by the lovely gesture, I contacted his mum to thank her. Later, she wrote, just in case I forget, the picture took 3 days to dry and Joseph described it as a "mud puddle for Reuben because he'd like to jump and splash in it".
