A lot of people have asked ‘how has Maxi taken to his little sister?’ For the most part really well, although I have to chant my mantra ‘be gentle!’ at regular intervals during the day. It has had, however, some unexpected daddy benefits…
We visited Kew yesterday (twice in two days!) to meet up with Pete, Jane, Bonnie and Anya who also had Annabel and Oscar in tow. It was, as we explained to Maxi ‘just like mummy and daddy’s memory of childhood holidays’, raining heavily, the place we wanted to visit was shut and we had to take refuge in a cafe. Luckily it was only half an hour until Climbers and Creepers opened but as we sat in the cafe Maxi popped himself on my knee. Now this is fairly unusual for Maxi as most of the time he is not sleeping, he is running around at top speed. We had a good chat and as I explained to Maxi ‘daddy loves the cuddles..’
