Brit Jnr took six steps yesterday morning, her personal best. At the moment all of her steps are gleeful, open-armed and aimed towards me. It’s very flattering, I’m making the most of it.
That look I used to get from first daughter, when I picked her up from nursery, aged 2 or so. I don't think anyone else has ever looked at me quite like that, and I don't really expect to see it again. She'll be 12 in a few days and has already learned to treat Dad as more or less of a joke, albeit, for the moment, a nice one. The contempt will come, and no doubt quite soon: I don't expect it to be painless.
'her personal best'
ReplyDeleteSo, Brit, we're one of those competitive dads, are we? All sounds a bit too Brendan Foster for my liking and much too track and field.
they're never too young to start tennis training camp

ReplyDeleteDoes she play forward for Germany?
I wouldn't encourage him, Peter. God knows what gold-medal ambitions these hot-housing parents have for their nippers.
ReplyDeleteAn enchanting time - make the most of it (sorry if that sounds cloying)
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't at all, Z, and thankee.
