This is my bawling-and-bursting-at-the-belly-budding-ballerina. (Cutsey tutu from Yann!)
Or would she do better as a zealous zookeeper in her little world of cuddly soft toy animals? (Another Gingersnaps treasure, this time from Alicia!)
I think she’s probably going to be a monitress one day. She makes sure everyone keeps the bells/balls at end of each session at The Little Gym – the teacher calls her ‘my pack-away crew’. She un-ruffles the floor mat, neatens it at the corners before she goes about her activities. She brings her pillow for Buddy to sleep on, and sits right next to him with her “Goodnight Moon” board-book. She has been feeding herself all her meals for the past two months, amazing us greatly with her dexterity and independence. And she comforts her fellow toddler friends by sharing her slimey toys and stroking their hair.
My missy, do you know you are such a blessing? I love love love love love love you.
Love you.










































That gait around her. That glow on her face.












He came back home with flowers for me. In a shade of pink I so love. I like that he never buys flowers from a florist. It’s always from the wholesaler, wrapped in clear plastic. I like them this way, knowing the flowers are fresh and plentiful and cheap and I get to place them in a vase the way I like them – simple, messy, not in a posy.
