Failure to Thrive

Our CoombeMill break - Day 6
J and I went on the animal food run this morning. K wasjoining us, but in typical 4yr old style she didn't pick her feet up whenwalking and went splat, face down into a pile of mud! This meant that I had totake her back to the cottage where P was with...
