I never solved the mystery of why the original sponsor changed his mind and removed my poem from the winners list!:-( hugs Jan xx

I always feel I am in touch with my child self, but Jan, you are in touch with your baby-self! Do you have any idea how marvelous that is? This blew me out of the water.

It 'was' on the winners list (hence Connie's comment) so I am truly disappointed it was 'removed' and an amended list posted soi won't be bothering again, its not the first time this has happened!:-( hugs jan xx

As a first-time father, I looked into my son's eyes and saw his frustration at not being able to speak the language, so you have done a nice job of translating! Aloha! Rico

yes their behaviour is so often down to frustration, I guess after a while we get to understand what they really want!:-) hugs Jan xx
