This morning at the breakfast table little M was not the least bit interested in his porridge. He preferred to play outside but as it was cold, foggy & still wet I insisted he wait a while. To smooth the situation over I started to tell him about the gnomes that lived in the garden & how their favourite thing to eat in the morning was porridge, especially when it's warm. 'Quick', i said, 'eat your porridge before the gnomes come in to get it'. He patted the table beside him 'gno, gno, aye'. So then an elaborate explanation about how the gnomes are secretive & sneaky. 'They don't like to be seen'.
A while later I went to shower. Little M was not pleased about this I suggested he sing a song to the gnomes 'because they like music so much' & watch to see if they come out of the garden to dance. I went to gather my clothes & when I came out he was sitting by the back door, singing & playing the tambourine. I was a little slow with the camera....
