Half a thousand. The dear little boy reached five hundred days old today. He likes playing in our garden with large and small balls. The slide is a bit big and he needs a helpful hand. He loves sliding. Will he be a writer or an artist? He makes good marks on paper. Will he be a gardener? He can pick flowers but he tries to eat them. He should take care, there are nettles by the fence – they could sting. And beware of wasps in the fallen apples. They can hurt as well.
