Sarah's class had a pirate party today - they had to bring in "simple pirate costumes" (which mostly involved headscarves & swords, from the look of the kids after school - and of course, trousers instead of uniform dresses for the girls) and some snacks, and got to play pirate themed games. Wish I remember having had that much fun when I was in school. Perhaps I did, but it doesn't seem that way...

Alex has started pulling himself up on the furniture - and anything else he can. He's not very good at it yet, but he's very interesting in doing it. Only a matter of time, I guess.
