This is a painful time for Evie, with a whole host of injections now due. She's had five in the last couple of weeks with plenty more to come. Fortunately most of the vaccines we need are readily available here and we get good advice and support from the expat doctors.

She hasn't been her normal self for the last few days and has come out in a bit of a heat rash, but still smiles a lot and is great fun. One area we are struggling with is discipline – when she does something deliberately naughty like throwing her food on the floor, we try to scold her, but she just laughs at us and we then find it very hard to keep a straight face. We are suddenly very sorry for all the grief we gave our parents!!
