deird1: my two oldest nephews, looking cute (nephews)

After months on end of Being Old Enough To Play Without The Adults, Alex has now decided that life is simply not worth doing unless the grown ups are joining in.

Tonight, I played two games of Beetle, watched the news on the floods with Alex and I both going "Wow! Look at all the water!", read a book on medieval castles, read Mr Snow, and was told "Watch this bit, Auntie Maz! This bit's great!" right before all the exciting moments of the first Wallace and Gromit episode. I also listened to about fifty renditions of Alex singing Happy Birthday to random objects and giggling over how silly he was being.

Very fun, and I enjoyed it immensely. Exhausting, though.

What fun! I had a wonderful aunt who would play beetle with my sister and I for hours when we were young.

It's completely true - kids are both more fun than anything and also able to totally wear you out.

Enjoy it though, this stage goes by so quickly in hindsight.
