68233687_2OcLSFttifMLj6k.jpgWhy is it always the simplest of things that seem to stick in your mind the most? I was halfway through giving Louis a bath and a restyle when Sim comes frolicking over (that child was BORN TO FROLIC), asking if I had time to do something with her hair. Something, anything, she didn't mind. She just likes her hair to be brushed and played with.

Now, my brother - bless his oversized heart (and hands) - is not great with hairbrushing. He tries, he *really* tries, but he's more scared of accidentally hurting Sim than anything else. Which is understandable...I felt like that sometimes with my own kids. This is what got me thinking about memories - I remember brushing Neme's hair when she was Sim's age...and putting plasters on Barney's knees...the littlest things. The most *ordinary* of things. Of course I still remember their achievements and crowning glories (when Neme won the school science fair, she was so happy)...but the little stuff...that's what I think of first...

I'm glad Luther will get a chance to make some of those memories with Sim. He has always wanted to be a dad, and from what I have managed to find out about Sim, it sounds like she really needs one in her life.

I find it's those simple, mundane things that mean the most. I'm glad Luther and Sim have the chance to make those little, mundane memories together.
