Ellie is home today, due to Jared being sick, and there being no point in me paying out for a childminder if I'm already looking after one poorly child...
She just came out of the living room looking a bit sad.
"What's wrong, Boo?" I asked.
"Want music." She replied, sticking out her lower lip.
Never one to disappoint my children if their requests are easily met, I turn on the stereo. "Kicking the Stone Home" comes out of the speakers. Ellie screams, and I look around worriedly until I realise that she's screaming in *delight*.
"SAM'S SINGING!!! AND SUSAN IS PLAYING VIOLIN!!!" she cries, "I dancing now! Shake your bum, Mummy! This *good* music!"
Can't deny that one, Boo.
This good music. This *family*, Boo. This family.
