Angelina

It's fair to say that there is a bit of a dancing, make believe, generally dramatic theme of sorts emerging here for E. This was costume change #3 pre-10am - another daily occurrence right now. Equally charming and irritating (when you're trying to have breakfast, shower, start the day, leave the house).

She has been sporting this rather special expression whenever she is ballet dancing for several weeks and only today as she sat on my lap watching Angelina Ballerina, dressed as a fairy princess, did I recognise E was copying the darling mousling.

Of course, when it came to Skype Grandad for his birthday, the little performer vanished and became mute and terribly shy. Oh to be two.
