Louis at the Great Bath

Here's a photo I took of Louis aged 2-and-a-bit, early on a February morning at the Roman Baths. There was a chill in the air and a lot of steam was rising from the hot springs. The photo took itself...

He's a lovely boy - a chilled little thinker/feeler - his character is starting to assert itself on our homelife in some quite amusing ways.

We have a naughty step for such times when a little "time out" is needed.
It serves as a boundary, used when explanation/negotiation/warnings are no longer effective.
Louis is now subverting its purpose by sending each of us in turn to the step when he doesn't get his way. He'll indignantly say "nordy dep daddy!! - nordy dep mummy!! nordy dep Macthhhh!!".

A short while ago before dinner, I asked Louis if he wanted to say a prayer. Without blinking he prayed "nordy dep Desus"...
