Mr. Logical

Yesterday I was explaining to Jack how good stories and books have a plot. He quickly asked what a plot was. I told him that there should be a problem and then a way to fix the problem.

Jack asked if he could write a book last night. I quickly went and got a pen and paper and had him dictate his book to me - without any editing (even the title was his). He was speaking so fast I could barely keep up. Here is his first book - probably not destined to be a classic, but a decent first go. We will have to work plot a bit more! He does like his onomatopoeia though.

Mr. Logical by Jack W. C. Anderson

One day they were wrestling until Mommy called them for breakfast and something went boom boom clap. It was the postman with a letter for them. Mr. Logical wants them to come for lunch, and he was going to serve pizza and beans until something really happened. There was big excitement in their house as a dog came in and said woof woof.

Worth a Smile

I was going through old pictures and found this one. Charles and I took this on the London underground a couple of years ago.

Theo laughing

Here is another video taken of Theo about a month ago laughing and having a good time.

Drummer Boy

Here is a video taken about a month ago with the boys drumming in the back garden. This is one of Jack's favourite activities and by extension has become one of Theo's.
