So a compliment really . . .

I am glad it is making people smile. It would make me smile on someone elses blog. Unfortunately I think I must be missing some essential kit of parenthood with BB. She is out to ‘be’ naughty, so we are trying to not reinforce this with attention, bear in mind she is only 3, and mostly adorable, and also balance out the needs of SB. I need a lot more patience than i have as well. She is usually gorgeous with others, so I think this is purposeful willfulness rather than genuine wildness [does this make sense?]

I think this is a hard moment of the year and sometimes wish that Christmas was a bit shorter and sharper and we could just all get back to normal life.
