Princess party

Yesterday was a very exciting day. After the toddler group Christmas party we went to a princess birthday party for one of Isla's friends. As well as tasty food, Isla was given a party bag full of princess crafts and a crown, sparkly ring, bracelets and amazing jewels.

We have some new lights in our garden. Isla was very excited today to look at the lights as they do look magical. 

Isla asked me when she will be old enough to drive a car and wondered if it is when she is four. Four year olds must seem very grown up to her. She asked me today whether dogs have teeth and also whether horses have teeth.... she is showing an early interest in dentistry! She tends to call random things her "brain". She wanted to shine a torch at my "brain" by pointing at my wrist, she meant vein I think (although these days I frequently think my brain has gone adrift!) and also told me her "brain" was coming off, when she meant the skin on her finger. Brains are indeed very important!

Today, Isla and Evie did some playing in the afternoon. Isla's preference was for Happyland, obviously. Evie's preference was.... for blowing raspberries and waving her arms about but she was given a toy crab with squeaky claws to play with. 

The crab toy tired Evie out and she snuggled up on Daddy this evening. Today Evie also had fun kicking about on the carpet a bit too close to the Happyland: the vet's surgery got knocked over by a wayward foot which annoyed Isla! Evie can spin around on the floor now and grab at things around her. She is also starting to pull her socks off and is very pleased when she grabs her toes. Another exciting skill is sticking her thumb in her ear. Amazing huh.
