Shaken or stirred?
As of today, Finn is one step closer to mixing me a gin and tonic. I asked him to bring me a book to read and sure enough he went over to the bookshelf, selected one and brought it back.
I suddenly realised that even though he can only say a couple of words he understands so much. Shoes, socks, breakfast, bath - all evoke a physical response. He's a little sponge for information.
So today - fetching book. Next week - attempting to hold a spoon. Four years? Pour 30ml of vodka into a glass and add tonic and a slice of lime.
Don't worry. I'll pre-cut the lime wedges.

Yes, I am truly convinced little ones come into this world knowing and seeing more than they let on.
Even as a doting aunt, I notice my nephew soaking up everything around him. He was mucking around on a little keyboard my dad had brought and I tapped out a scale for him and explained what it was.
A couple of weeks later, I am visiting again and the little maestro is again at the keyboard. He plinks out something that is pretty close to a scale, turns to me and goes "Scales! Aunty!"
You are going to wait until he is four?? He should be on to martinis and whiskey sours by then!
