I'm pretending to sleep. I hear a little noise of consternation and open my eyes. Little E's sat there looking at me, brows furrowed. I close my eyes again. I hear movement and jump up with a playful roar. He squeals in delight.
I pretend to sleep again. This time, when I wake up, I catch him in the midst of crawling towards me. More happy squealing.
The last time I open my eyes, he's there (!), face right in front of mine. I roar and grab him. He laughs, squeals and wriggles away before turning round to look at me: again! again!
