Mother's Day

Elin gave me the best Mother's Day present ever this year! She sat in her chair ALL THE WAY THROUGH our meal out today!! For the first time ever, I had a meal in a restaurant without having to eat with Elin on my knee. It was brilliant. Not only did she sit beautifully, but she was engaged, smiling and hugely responsive. This is such a simple pleasure for most family's but one which I can never take for granted. It literally made our day. Well, that and the elderly gentleman from the next table who stopped us as we left to talk to Elin and tell us how beautiful she was, how well behaved she had been and that he thought we should be very proud of her.  We are, we told him. Like you wouldn't believe :-)
