You have to love Izzy, and the way she stands up for her big brother.  A couple of days ago, Joey was having a strop in the car and Anne and I were telling him off.  'Now, Mummy', piped up Izzy, in a very authoritive way, 'You must just calm down.  Now.  And don't be so mean to Joey.  That's enough'.  She wiggles her finger whilst saying this, with a very serious look on her face.

This morning, as Joey was going out the door, she hugged him, gave him a kiss and said 'Have a good day, big, handsome boy.'
