Daddy

Ok so sometimes the dishes aren't done and the nappies are still in the washing machine and the dog hasn't been walked, and Bax has developed such a love of pies that "Little pies" has taken over from "Little cakes" in his favourite things lexicon. But the kids are always smiley and their hair is always clean and their outfits are always bright and 'creative' and their days are always adventures. And when I watch from a secret spot and see G down on the floor with all the little tea sets and cooking paraphenalia around him and he and two happy kids drinking imaginary tea from tiny cups, or G making a dolly and a teddy dance and hug and walk around to the delight of his small but warm audience, or when I see him crouched down on a tiny trike giving Bax a race even though his knees ache, or making little plates of yummy things to eat for lunch even though he's so tired he can't think of what to eat himself, i couldn't care less that the floor needs a vaccuum.
