Leila's activities

I was going to talk about what Leila plays, but after I made a little mental list I decided to entitle this post Leila's activities - same, same. Leila likes to dress up, like a princess or a ballerina, and make up too. She fancies particularly the dresses and skirts that I sew for her as she plays with my sewing stuff while Coline sleeps, on week-ends. Her being grateful for what I make for her obviously drives my productivity. She likes playing mummy and daddy with daddy, mummy and daughter with her friends, school and hide and seek with us and Coline, she likes racing with me, and sewing too, writing, creating presents for her friends, painting, she likes climbing and sliding down chairs and hills, jumping down steps and furniture, helping with meal preparation, baking cakes, and she masters the skills of sticking a spoon on her nose.

What a glorious age it is to be almost 4! and how fun it is for us too. I cannot imagine that any other time will be better than now, with a 4 year-old and a 1-year old, one out of the tantrum phase, the other not yet in it, so much laughter, so up for anything we suggest. Yesterday was mother's day and I was so grateful to be me, with my family.

And did I mention that they both are amazing clowns?

Lunches have been difficult lately and Leila has not been very keen to go to school, but my secret weapon has been lunch at the park near our house, what a wonderful moment we had.
