Nine and a Half Weeks

This little monkey is doing well.

He has been swimming twice and loved it.
He slept from 7pm until 4 am last night. A real treat (better than up every 2 hours which he's also done recently).
He makes this crazy Predator-teradactyl noise which can be cute when huddled around for a coo-ing session. But is pretty intense/creepy waking you in the middle of the night from a dark corner in your room.
He can lure you into the bestest of giggling matches when you least expect it.

Basically, life on a Tues, Wed, and Thurs is pretty simple. Savvy is at nursery so there are no probing questions about evolution, disease management, or -the latest- war.

Yes, Savvy has taken to making inquiries at Memorial Park (across the road) over a monument that lists the names of local fallen soldiers. It's a bit tricky. After a brief as-child-friendly-as-possible history of WWI and II, she can't understand the naughty people needing to go to jail and why good people would "go up in the sky" while trying to put them there. She wants to know who the naughty people are, where they live, and what they look like. "This is what is complicated, Savvy", I tell her, "most people all over the world are good and are trying to behave even better. But there are a small few who are very very very naughty. And they are scattered everywhere and they look just like you and me".

"They do NOT look like me", she shouts, "I am NOT a Natzi!".

Not so simple...

That was obviously a good joke Mac.
I look forward to my next visit.
Savvy have you seen that man who has my coat again?? Keep looking.
