A quick update on Bethany's progress in the past week. My parents got her some simple jigsaw puzzles; one set consisting of farmyard animals made up of two pieces and another of sea creatures. After being shown the two halves of an animal once she could then pair them off. In the case of the farmyard animals it even sounded like she called their names on assembly for cow, sheep and duck.
   Less positive is the big bruise and cut under her chin as she has a habit of tearing round the place with circuits of the table a particular favourite. Last evening whilst in the Brinkburn for Paul's birthday she was running round the table when the inevitable happened and she smacked her head off the side as she was distracted by everything else and no doubt getting a bit dizzy.
   It was not the first fall she had suffered and was soon rectified with a cuddle.
