The whole household was at the dinner table tonight, all at the same time and nobody in a hurry. I was tired after a long day and suddenly had a perfect moment, one of those blissful, this is exactly as it should be moments with KK clearing dishes and liam announcing he was about to be two with a laborious but effective display of fingers, his parents taking such joy in him, Bob beside me laughing, and birthday cake ice cream in my bowl.
