Two year old teenager

I had a lot of fun with Maxime this weekend before heading off to India. A number of friends tell me that kids are getting older sooner and that adolescence sets in much earlier. I’m not sure if wiping bogeys from his nose on his Dad is a sign of adolescence but if it is, then I’ve got a two year older teenager. That said, I don’t think he’ll be trying that little disgusting habit again for a while. Even if that is not typical behaviour that one expects of a well brought up little boy, it is not this incident which makes me worry about him....the fact that he sat down in the evening in front of Cbeebies and began to read the phone book from cover to cover was a lot more disconcerting. His assured conviction that Papy John could actually hand him his Makka Pakka soft toy through the computer screen whilst we Skyped on Saturday also worried me....or maybe that’s just a glimpse into the future....
