Last week, I was reading the Oxford Reading Tree "A Day in London" to Hillary during bedtime (probably the 99th times) and on page 12, it said Gran took the children to Trafalgar Square where a statue of Nelson stood. I was caught by surprise when Hillary suddenly asked, "Mummy, who is Nelson - the statue at Trafalgar Square?"
I love it when Hillary asked questions. It opens up our dialogue and I would spend long time, as long as required, to explain whatever the subject was and the values that brought along.
To address her query on Nelson, I got her the book "Nelson" by Usborne and tonight, we read the heroic story of Horatio Nelson together.
