Oh, Sherlock! So clever, but there's always something. And Mycroft is always one step ahead of him. :-) My heart goes out to Mummy Holmes!

Still true of him today. This was marvelous and so adorable! I enjoyed the interaction of Lil!My and Lil!Sherly so much. <3

This is adorable! <3

I love how Mummy Holmes is just a normal mother, trying to give her boys a loving childhood, yet clearly a little overwhelmed with her two sons... I can vividly imagine how difficult it must be to live with young Sherlock who wants to pack his things and run away at everything that finds his dislike. Thank God there is Mycroft who is clever enough to keep the upper hand! I laughed so much at how Mycroft has hidden Sherlock's present, despite already having had a "Very Serious Talk" with him. :-)

Awww, thank goodness for Mycroft being able to out-think Sherlock!

I love this peep into their history, and Sherlock just being *so* Sherlock, despite being 5 years old. Their poor mother!

Thanks for sharing.

That was very cute, and completely believeable!
