The party last night was great fun. Silly games involving pieces of paper stuck to backs and eggs amongst other things. Tommy was well behaved and after the initial shock of being thrust into a small room full of people, he and his friend proceeded to make more noise than everyone else put together (and we are a noisy bunch).

Most mornings the three of us leave together, going our separate ways at the gate. This morning, Tommy started waving goodbye to me before we'd even got to the gate, and carried on waving as I crossed the road and walked off. How sweet!
