Ups and Downs.

We go to shopping malls so infrequently that escalators, elevators and everything in between is novelty for the littlies. Our joyride up and down the mostly empty travelator three whole times drew smiles from other patrons. "At least it's free, it could be worse!" chuckled one lady.

We were on a mission today, a mission to procure a comfy (read:bouncy) new mattress for our little man in his new bed. It took a few phone calls, and a squash and a squeeze into the boot, but we made it. 

He's a very happy little man.

At least, he will be until he finds out that after he fell asleep, his big sister came down to me in tears. It turns out she missed her big brother and couldn't sleep. It probably had something to do with how she's not used to being the last one to fall asleep. She felt lonely with the little man asleep so quickly. 

She's back sharing room with her big brother now. This is a situation we will need to reassess in the morning.
