Troisieme Vitesse
Amid all the Toovian nonsense, Esther turned three. And was overnight elevated from being a small person into a giantess due to Tove's stunning smallness. Neither Maddy or I are sure how this happened. She was only born a few weeks ago but now she is three. Madness.
She received some glorious guftlies and enjoyed a most excellent party with her older sister running a tight ship when it came to pass the parcel. Many thanks to you all who were responsible for this- she had a lovely day.
Over the course of her short time on this earth, Esther has developed a deep seated sagacity that makes her feel older than her years. But let us not revisit this tired trope else I'll start worrying about wedding speeches and her leaving home. Soft headed man.
This wisdom includes some good basic advice about what to do and not do in the bath - which she sums up thusly: "Only wees in the bath". I've tried to move this back to nothing in the bath but compare to the ultimate alternative I'm happy enough with this red line. Equally, Esther is a font of birthing knowledge which came in handy when Tove entered this world. On being asked what her mother should do when Tove arrived, Esther offered her some invaluable advice - "Huddle and Push". Which isn't far off from the political and ideological mire of natural childbirth. Along with these practical pieces of advice she also offers an excellent support service for new parents in need when she stated "I can really sort you out". Or else she was inspired to see it, say it, sort it. Who knows. And she is also a keen admirer of the natural world - on our most recent visit to the city farm she exclaimed "Look, piles of chickens!". David Attenborough she is coming for you. Indeed her running commentary of Blue Planet 2 was so good it could have been viral podcast hit.
Alas, she is now laid low with a ghastly vomiting bug which has been utterly joyous and as I write this she is watching the teeth brush song, which is I think is Russia propaganda designed to send parents demented and infantilise the world. But doubtless she'll be better soon.
Enjoy.
