Today is my nephew's third birthday.

He is such a funny little character and I enjoy looking after him when he comes over to visit.

I would be here for hours writing about some of the hysterical things he says and does.

One that I can recall recently was when he had stayed here one night and refused to sleep for hours. Despite every effort I made, he just wouldn't fall asleep. He eventually did.

He must have sensed I was going to tell on him the following morning as we were waiting for his mother and father to pick him up.

Just before they arrived, he sat down beside me and told me he loved me. I sort of knew where he was heading but I let him carry on. He then asked me 'please don't get me in big trouble'.

How could I after that!?

I promised him I wouldn't, as I hid a laugh at the effort he went to to soften me up.
