Pregnancy and the evolution of christianity.....

I went back to work today and have seen the girls for about twenty minutes and I am reminded of how good it was to spend time with them last week. The silly things they get up to that just keep the material for my blog and this record of family life just going and going.

Anna went through a day of diligently looking after 'Baby Jack' and attempted to empathise about what it was like to have a baby in your tummy. Guided by Lucy, they played a lovely game of mummies and schools. I was slightly worried because the whole thing was approached with such naivety and lack of real knowledge that it sounded like a teenage mother training camp and Anna's pretend pregnancy was rather hilarious.

Lucy, on the other hand has been dabbling in more profound issues in her life. She is extremely interested in Easter, Christianity and above all chocolate, and is very pleased that somebody decided to combine them all with the arrival of chocolate Easter eggs. She has, however, taken this a step further and I quote: 'Daddy; chocolate biscuits are very good for you and make you better when you are poorly. When Jesus was on the cross the good people gave him a chocolate biscuit and that made him better, which is why he came back to life on Easter Sunday.' It is a very interesting theological argument from the young lady on the left sporting her lovely new hair cut! Thanks for the lovely, yet slightly bizarre memories of last week girls - they kept me going on my first day back to work....
