There have been a few more than usually sleepless nights of late. Poor
Alexander has picked up an infection of some sort at nursery and this
has made him successively vomit (Tuesday evening/night) and then very
fractious and clingy since then.

Tracy and I haven’t had much
in the way of sleep, it has been go to bed early and then get up
frequently to minister to a crying boy. He’s really very cute and looks
properly poorly. You can tell the difference between this sort of
crying and the sort where he tries it on to get cuddles and his own
way.
