Graham on Twitter

Yes, it’s about that time.  Graham will be 2 soon so clearly he needs his own shiny new twitter account.  I swear we’re not just trying to be trendy.  It really is a great way to have a record of what they say, because, let’s face it, I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast most days.

Meanwhile, here are some of Violet’s latest.  Graham isn’t there yet, but soon.
