About two months ago Gideon discovered Mario Odyssey. He played ¾ of
it with me, and then restarted and played the whole game by himself.
And then followed that up by playing all of Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
And then, this afternoon, discovered that we have a PS4. So now we're
playing The Last Guardian. He is delighted by his pet dog-dragon.

Last Sunday Sophia threw up.
She spent Monday and Tuesday with a fever, and then Wednesday clearly feeling better but not well enough to go to school.
She was mostly either asleep or watching videos. I worked at home on the Monday, when she mostly slept.
On Tuesday I had to work from the office, which is when Jane had to deal with a lot of...demands.
And then I worked at home on Wednesday, although I did drop-off and pick-up. She continued to have demands, and we split them as best we could, depending on who had meetings when.
And then by Thursday she was feeling much better, and made it in to
school for World Book Day, where she was Sophie from the BFG (pyjamas
and drawn-on glasses). And since then she's thankfully been fine.
