Matt, Tim Bateman, Kevin Day.

Dylan is happy to have Lucy in the house. He clapped for her when she came home from work this evening.

Matt and Dylan are flying to America tomorrow, to be joined by Clare in a week.

Blogey update on blooger.

A giant bogey (or, in American English, 'booger') was found spread over such a large area of Dylan's cheek, that Dylan's nursery staff mistook the bogey for a thin bloody scab. The nursery principal made an announcement to all staff not to disturb the thing, for fear that further bleeding could result. Thus Dylan's bogey became famous. Soon he and other children were examined for diseases that result in scabs.

At last, there was a general sense of relief when the thing fell off during nap time.

(To be fair to the nursery, Matt too had been convinced that the bogey was in fact a scab.)

Clare's cousin Lucy is staying with us during her placement scheme.
