thanks Trace - he caught a bug off of DD's friend, she's been off school for a week with it, so I'm quite impressed with his soldiering on . He did ask me to make him a 'boy' today, so I had to sew a doll for him to make him happy whilst he sat and played in my button box. He's now moved from the sofa to my bed, dragging his doll and his blanket behind him, lol!
