Big girl

Big girl's shoes - wearing her new boots by Clarks FirstShoes. They are purple with lilac stitching and laces - a little on the big side but figured this is a long winter for us so they need to last!

Here she is helping with some gardening. She is a serial hat loser, this cute little teddy bear number has already been misplaced somewhere between Johnson Park and Dennis railway station. Careful retracing of steps didn't help find it, sadly. So it joins the gorgeous Peruvian alpaca one in the Great Lost Property Office in The Sky. Both are much missed.

She rarely stops smiling and chatting, except to gurn and grab Leo's hair or a handful of cheek - can turn feral sometimes! Had her first turn on the naughty cushion this week, for biting - that was a surprise.

Enjoying her bedtime stories very much at the mo, usually wants four and her absolute favourite is Dear Zoo. She does pretty much the same noise (with arm/ trunk action) for elephant and lion, and very convincing hissing for the snake! Loves her bunny (she says Bun-na). Incessantly says "El-lo" (with an upward inflection on the o) to everything and everyone - sounds quite the little cockney! She just walks round constantly chatting / singing to herself, with all sorts of sound effects like "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" or "toot-toot" or "nee-nar nee-nar..." it's a constant soundtrack to our day. Lovely girl.
