The littlest acorn

..... is now and has, admittedly, been for some time, somewhat taller than his dad.

Sam is our youngest, and today is his 17th birthday. That should probably make me feel old, but it doesn't. Teachers and policemen make me feel old.

Trawling through my photos in search of material to embarrass him on social media to a level fitting for the occasion (because what else are loving parents for?) I was bemused by how difficult it was to find one in the multitudinous collection of him where he wasn't actually smiling.

A happy child. I hope he has a lovely day. Looking forward to taking him out to supper when I get home later.

So that's the October birthdays done. One more to go, but we're in the clear now until December.
