"Young girl, there's no need to feel down..."

I think I am understanding Eleanor better. I mean, there are ways she tries to communicate when she is hungry, or uncomfortable, or tired and its a case a picking up the cues and acting accordingly.

So, naturally, when she grips my index fingers with her tiny hands, thats the cue that she wants to go through the actions to Y.M.C.A., right? I mean, we're talking about how to meet basic fundamental needs here.

ION: This was my first week back at work (all two days of it) and I will admit that I had not been looking forward to it. However, it was better than I thought and I was quite energised. Three weeks off meant that I was mentally fresh and fairly keen. I'm not sure how long this will last, but time to enjoy it whilst I may.
