NOTE ON PICTURES: This shouldn't be necessary but I have, sadly, noticed growing cases. Please DO NOT link directly to pictures on this website - it steals my bandwidth and is BAD! I CAN trace you if you do and I will take action.

Na, na, na, I'm not listening
Photo of April taken a couple days ago. Aaaaaah! ain't she cute? Just wish she'd listen to her mother occasionally! Certainly would save an awful lot of tears - literally!
We have a huge area of lawn in our garden and, because April is still a bit unsteady on her feet, I've told her not to run on the path - just the lawn.
I've told her ... and told her ... and told her....
... and she totally ignores me. She runs on the path, falls over and screams blue murder while we mop her tears and apply tubefuls of Germolene to her various grazes. Every time it happens I say "don't run on the path just the lawn".
Today, she ran on the path, fell over and is now sporting glowing grazes on her chin and arm.
Bloody hell, I wonder why I bother. Really, I do.
Maybe I should try some reverse psychology ..... "for the love of God, DON'T run on the grass!"
