After supper tonight there was the sound of happy playing, with Grace and Eli having lots of fun together as they tidied up the playroom, and pushed each other around on a rolling chair. Eli has turned a corner with his pink eye, fever and general unhappiness, and was much more himself again tonight. Grace was actually able to make him laugh again rather than cry just for looking at him the wrong way.

It is easy to forget how much they actually play with each other, but to hear them playing, laughing and having fun was a wonderful heart lifting sound – one that we’ve missed over the last week.
