Growing up

The puppy fat is going. You can almost imagine the teenage face to come. It won't be long before she puts those toys away. She is still getting "TimeOut" for being naughty. But that's all part of being two years old. (2 yrs 9 mths now). I took a load of Peppa Pig toys with me this trip. There was a 12 piece puzzle and at first she could't do it. She didn't get the idea that the edge pieces can't go anywhere but round the edge. She kept trying them in the middle. So I had to nudge them round to help her. I think the joy of seeing the complete picture was enough to make her keep wanting to do it. Plus a dose of sheer bloody-minded determination. Don't know where she gets that from. We must have done it five or six times a day. Maybe more. Eventually she was doing it by herself in less than a minute.We had so much fun together. Ring a ring of roses was a hit. And we used to crawl under a chair and pretend it was our house. We would take a Peppa Pig fridge under there and she would open it and feed me chocolate cake from it and we would say that this was our house and nobody else was allowed in here. She liked me to sit in her bedroom on her little white chair and she would put sunglasses on me and brush my hair and put clips in it. Then she would prepare me a meal of toy food, a plastic fried egg, pepper, onion, pizza and chocolate. I was allowed one pretend glass of wine.
