I didn't think that Friday would arrive this week.
The days this week have been very long, starting as they have been at 4am. We are just back from a couple of weeks in England and body clocks are still on Greenwich Mean Time when they need to be on Central Standard Time.
So, in the dead of night the kids have been coming in to our room demanding breakfast and help getting dressed for School. Beautiful!
I'll say this though: being awake in the middle of the night for hours on end with your kids does make for some illuminating conversations. Louis especially likes to deal with the Big Issues of the day. Last night, he came in looking pretty worried. After some not inconsiderable coaxing he told us what was on his mind: he was worried that dogs might not have middle names!

Of course they do. For example Scooby Doo's middle name is 'Dooby'.
Probelm solved.
The problem as I see it is one of consistency. Yes you've got Scooby but what about poor old Lassie? Not even a surname...
Think yourself lucky Stu. A friend of our's 3 yr old asked: "Mummy...why is daddy part of our family?" (but not at 4 in the morning)
Surely Lassie's last name is 'Home'? I distinctly remember another name too.... Oh yes. Lassie Come Home. Like Holly Go Lightly (although not a dog its true). or Tim Bob Smith. Tell Louis not to worry. Dogs are good when it comes to middle names.
It may be that I have been drinking a bit.
