Uncle Nate is staying and you are loving every second of it. I am not sure who adores the other more! 

"Mum can you go out, I want some alone time with Uncle Nate"

You love water, you always have.

You love fruit. All kinds of fruit at any time of day or night. Blueberries, strawberries, rasberries, apples, lychee's (grouchies), mango's, banana's, grapes, plums, apricots, nectarines, peaches and delicious fresh figs! The only fruit you don't really like is oranges but you love orange juice.

We went to visit Debra and you were beside yourself with excitement. When it came time for bed you whispered "Mum I want someone else to read me a story tonight". It is so moving for me to see you falling in love with someone who is so important in my life.

You spend most of your life naked. You rarely get dresed when you get up in the morning, resist putting on clothes to go and out and often want to take them off at the park or friends houses. When I go to tie up your hair you say "Mum please don't, I love my hair completely wild". 

My beautiful wild child 

I love you xxx

Inside your little palace you made an installation of berries, petals, fronds and mint leaves. For a while uncle Nate joined you and you whispered secrets while I, having been once again banished so as not to interrupt your precious private time with another, passed you surprises of little treasures found in the garden. I made the mistake of passing you a twig. "Sorry mum, I only want beautiful things."
