Today we got together again with the neighbours that Mari's met through the babies-and-mothers centre. A fine way of spending a Sunday.

Kenny was well-behaved and was true to form in happily engaging relative strangers as if it were no different from another day with his mum. He's shown little sign of the "fear of strangers" that seems to overtake kids his age.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
