Wednesday 16th September saw the temporary cease of hostilities in the Francis household as Courtney's speedy descent into teenage 'ness' stopped for about 24 hours.
The reason? His 11th birthday. And in all the excitement he completely forgot the monosyllabic, grunting, moody persona he's been working hard to perfect and instead we had a happy, smiling, communicative and friendly boy. The boy we know is there all the time, he'd just rather you didn't see it - this would be deeply uncool...
So Happy Birthday Courtney and just remember, it's OK to flash that gorgeous smile whenever you want!
