A spare ten minutes before I go to work so a quick update. Bethany has had diarrhoea for a few days now although it does not seem to be troubling her too much despite ruining one sleep suit that went straight in the bin. It is hard to know whether she has an infection or it is one of the many side effects put down to teething. After a number of sniffles in the last few weeks since starting nursery it was easy to forget about her teeth, but the top two at the front breaking through directly above her other two has reminded us. Today she also showed signs of learning as she picked up a toy phone and held it to her ear, copying what she had seen us do.
   Alison had a pleasant surprise when Mencap phoned to offer her an interview for relief work, allowing her to have a few to pick and choose around my shifts. Anyway after arranging the date and time Alison recognized the woman on the other end of the phone as an old class friend. Slightly startled at this coincidence she called her mother to tell her and I was impressed that she never once mentioned "It's a small world."
