when BB began her adventure in 3-dom, when you asked her how old she was, she would always say pink. the pink numberjack is number 3. although she still likes number jacks, she is now 3, and about to be 4!
interrupted for a news flash! BB has just proudly demsonstrated that she can lick her nose!!
well, where were we, ah, another year time! i am not a great writing sentimentalist. but these early years are fab for watching the changes. we started the year with BB certainly testing boundaries! [and our parenting skills]. we worked with her, and realised the triggers of tiredness, hunger and a need to be the equal of SB, so home ed books for her bought, and as and when she wants have been done. this has been with increasing frequency through the year. now, although she can’t recognise most letters, she will sound out letter sounds of words spontaneously and has a go at writing – both squiggles like adults, and will get a book to practice copying letters. she is a very careful colourer and artist. she sings beautifully, and she plays intricate games with her little toys. her request of sylvanians suited her well, and she is still playing with them, entirely ecstatically now [having woken up]. she is a joyful loving soul, and although she and SB have lot of birth and pack order issues still, i am sure it will sort itself out.
SO, BB, happy birthday for tomorrow, this year has been another year of blessing from your presence.
Happy Birthday BB
