Decided to give Lion, Witch and Wardrobe another shot. Found the book stashed behind something today and his face lit up and said "remember THIS" so I asked him if he remembered where we had got up to before I just became too ill to even read. He couldn't. So I asked him if he'd like to start again. He did. So we did. I think we got to page 13 before his eyes glazed over. Would really like to finish it this time. Perhaps it was a good thing we never finished it last time. His recall and understanding is so much better than even five months ago it never fails to amaze me.

Informs me that a Saurolophus was a dinosaur "covered in bruises".... why??? "because saurolophus means 'sore all over'".

How I don't laugh in his face sometimes is a wonder...
