when I noticed it come up in the random flickr shots.
Taken two years ago in April 2004 here is a picture of Scarlett aged 15 months old. Naked, she’d climbed up on top of a unit far taller than herself to get to her dummy (which she was only allowed at night) and my phone (which she was not allowed to touch as she’d broken the previous one by sucking the end of it until water got in and it went mildew).
Only today I had to rescue her having climbed onto the worktops in the kitchen in search of forbidden snickerdoodles.
I find myself resigned to rescuing her every April for at least the next 16 years as she clambers into scrapes she is unable to get herself out of…
