Spent a week without picking this up due to attending Cubjam, which I am just now recovering from. It was a lot of work and very exhausting, but it was good to spend time with William and see him cope with challenges. He got very homesick while he was there, but made new friends, tried scary things like caving and new foods and since he got back he has only been talking about the happy times and singing the songs we learnt. It's an inset day tomorrow so we are off to Legoland together. I have a strong bond with his brother and sister, but I need to find a hook with William to build a stronger relationship. we both want it (I think), so we will be ok. He is still calling me 'Baloo' rather than 'Dad' following the camp, which is sweet. The book was an epic, about the loosely defined Central Europe - the lands between the Rhine and Russia, the Baltic and the Adriatic/Balkans. Very enjoyable and easy to read until the painful and harrowing 20th and 21st centuries.
