Usually I would tell her off for asking for it early in the morning. Today I welcomed it as it means she is getting better!

She’s had temperature for a few days and haven’t been eating well for the last two days. She didn’t even want any snacks, chocolate or dried apricot! Usually she’s the one who opens her cupboard door and points to the food that she wants… so, yes, I was worried.

When she said ‘Chocolate drops, please’ this morning, I told her to get a little bowl and I gave her a handful… her hand size rather than mine, of course!
