soapy

who, me?

he normally uses the toilet, but the potty still gets some attention.. (look sis, his 2nd b'day pres still fits!)

sea creatures

look gran, new habitats for all my new sea creatures! Janu loves playing with these, and our bath is full of exciting sea life, stories and adventure! He knows which ones like the deeeeep water and which ones stay in the shallows, and mum you can fill him in more when we see you! He is not sure that octopuses do have arms, being quite convinced they are legs. so you can fight about that.  

john..

john, adrian's friend from school visits and regales us with stories from palestine, jordan and all sorts of adventures he's been up to. janu has a very soft spot for him.

puzzling

quick progress..

brrrrrr

and it kept snowing and snowing - we found some great slopes in Newton Abbot and skidded and slid down with glee. one sled between 4! Below the 3 very grown up Porter kids! & Janu riding on uncle Van's shoulders through the burnt out Buckfast church and graveyard. He often asks us why things die, and will he die, and what happens when you die. starting early, maybe because of the death of blackie (the chicken) and our neighbours dog..
