As the house fills up the ranting may become spasmodic and unfocused. If not downright incoherent. 3 children under 4 (two under one) and all under foot takes some concentration. As I write the elder granddaughter is simultaneously eating an apple, rearranging the catalogues and exploring the wine rack. Now she can raise herself to her feet her horizons have widened vertically and the potential area for collateral damage dramatically expanded. Her two cousins arrive tonight and the gang of three will take some corralling. The younger GD is still in the stay plonked mode but her cousin has an amazing turn of speed over the ground in a manic bottom shuffle with one leg assisted overdrive. Once she learns to get at the computer she might as well start her own blog.
