"Wokking"

We are now firmly on our feet and even requesting hiking trips to the local shop. The excursion only takes about 40 minutes to get there and back - sometimes taking "the gang" for a stroll and sometimes just holding one hand.

Iggle Piggle was not allowed to come on this walk because he was, somewhat ironically, "in bed".

BFF Cora came round the other day and the chums walked around the lounge again and again, holding hands. Seeing the tops of their little heads passing by together, from the other side of the sofa will, I think, remain one of my overriding memories of Alice's toddlerhood.

So, despite the fact we are on week 6 of the antibiotics and the ears are still playing up, she really seems to have found her confidence. Some very-unlike-me-pushy-mothership now has us seeing an ENT specialist in late November as I would rather broccoli than Augmentin form a staple part of her diet.
