This morning I was talking with your grandma on Skype, and you were playing with your dad. I looked over and you were stroking his face in circles, concentrating very hard. I asked you what you were doing, and you began to explain, then frowned and said, “Look, just don’t worry about it, okay?”

I laughed and translated for Grandma, who also laughed.

A moment later you came over and climbed into my lap. “Can I have a cuddle?”

“Of course you can.”

You put your arms around my neck and said, “I’m sorry I was angry with you, Mummy.”

You’re so lovely.
