Le Petit Cirque du Soleil

I was on my knees this morning, on the living room floor, changing Madeleine's diaper, with ample flashing lights in the background as Ian, the realist photographer snapped pictures of anything that moved him in the vicinity, and Daniel, who loves it when I'm prostrate, decided, unsurprisingly, to climb up on me since I was hunched over on the floor. He climbed up to my shoulders, kneeling on them and balancing himself by grabbing on to my head/balancing-post whenever necessary, and announced to the paparazzi:

"I'm doing circus, Ian - look!"
