Playing and drawings

MONDAY
Isla enjoyed visiting some friends yesterday for ice lollies and playing with many peppa pig and hello kitty toys and a thomas tank engine train set. She read some books to her doll and her granny in the afternoon as well as playing shops. We made some chocolate fairy cakes in the morning, to take to our friends' house however there are not many left to show you. Isla helped crack the eggs in the bowl (this caused great excitement!) and spooning flour in too. She was very insistent that these cakes didn't need to go into the oven and would be ready immediately after spooning the mix into the cake cases, however that is not the way of the cake. Her other main role after they came out the oven was testing the icing and and sprinkles before, during and after they were put on the cakes. 



TUESDAY
Today Isla went to pre-school after some scrambled egg for breakfast. She repeatedly told me that she didn't want to go and that today wasn't Tuesday, but she gave me about a billion kisses when I dropped her off and kept coming back for hugs until I really had to go. She had a wonderful time, of course. When I picked her up, I snuck in to watch her before she saw me, and she was enthralled by a storybook being read out to all of the children. She told me afterwards that she had enjoyed pre-school and said 'thank you for taking me to pre-school today mummy can I go back on monday and tuesday please'.

After lunch, Isla did some drawings with her felt tip pens and stuck her new stickers on to make some lovely art work. As well as this, she made a special sword out of the felt tip pens.
