Twelve/52


A: You are obsessed with the Rainbow Magic book series and last week wrote a letter to the author. You told her just how much you loved her books and Daddy and I were well impressed with how beautifully worded and written it was. You have read many of the books including the ones named after you and your middle sister. But there are none named after your little sister and you are politely encouraging her to write one named after L. The level of passion and adorableness is just too much. You are such a sweet girl and we still don't know how your wee brain copes with your level of intensity and speed. We can also see how you are growing and maturing into the next phase, though you still think it's such a treat when you arrive home to clothes Mummy chose and bought for you. Long may it last!

H: We are still patiently waiting for a spot to open up for you at school... In the meantime you and I are enjoying hanging out together and getting things sorted/done. You love playing outside. Even when your sisters aren't here you will run around and kick a ball, climb a tree or amuse yourself very happily out there. Lately you have been saying things like "gooder" and "more betterer" - cracks me up no end. Or your trend lately of "I knew that" or "yes that's what I was going to say". You like to "know" everything.

L: It is wonderful to watch you three girls play outside, you all love being out there. Creating constructions from bits of wood you find hidden away, makeshift see-saw's, "bows and arrows"... your imaginations working well. One of the most enjoyable things is seeing how different you all play and the various interpretations but then how it all comes together at the same time. In the UK lunch is called dinner... we are still getting used to it. You just call it dinner-lunch. And these canal's that look like rivers... canal-rivers (though you say "canail-river"). Very diplomatic :) Different levels are upper and downer - not just upstairs or downstairs. And I was very impressed how you held on to your mothers day kindy card for 4 days, hidden away and then appeared first thing with it on the right day. Such patience!
