Not even a month old, Jessica got me both a card and a box of chocolates for our first Mothering Sunday on the 16th… I knew that our child is a genius, of course, but that is very advanced…! (The card was lovely and the choccies very nice indeed, so two excellent choices, Ian.)
In the afternoon, all three of us went over to Ian’s parents for tea and cake – Jessica’s first visit to her farmor and farfar (paternal grandparents). As usual, Jessica slept throughout most of our visit. She was passed around the room for everyone to hold in turn without so much as stirring in between laps. Towards the end of our visit she wanted a bottle feed, which her Uncle Tom expertedly took care of, and then a nappy change, at which point her Mum and Dad suddenly found themselves on their own with Jessica in the room. Well, I guess there are certain things only parents are prepared to deal with…
