Seventeen!

Funny how some posts resonate for unexpected reasons. Kent's recent mention of AJ's academic achievements caught my eye.

K was off on a girlie overnighter leaving me in full control of home and toddler for the weekend.

By this afternoon, a tidy up was in order. A swift clearance of the lounge produced, among other things, a pile of books.

'That's a bloody big pile', I thought. 'Wonder how many there are?'

SEVENTEEN books on the lounge floor! Which made a hell of a mess, but I'm telling myself counts as good parenting.

Now if only we could persuade her to stop tearing the covers off them...
