It must be Spring! Everything has burst into bloom outside- grevilleas, rock iris, daisies.
It was the first swim of summer. A friend dropped in Sunday morning with her four and they all got in. (Except for the broken one.)
The Divine Miss M had one of her personal assistants carry her in and squealed with sheer delight.
Have you ever drunk hot tea out of a bendy straw? Lala made me this lot at about 5pm when I was getting tired and grumpy after two days with the Big fella away in his canoe. Girls just get it, don't they?
With raised spirits we gave Shorty a yellow bath (the good kind) to celebrate Spring and that she has discovered that yellow is different to other colours.
What a wonderful first colour!
The ladies are still put out about the new members of the Ladies' Lounge but have bumped up egg production. It could be to outdo each other and curry favour.
More fabulous morning Yellow to wake up to on a Spring morning. I love these thrifted Pyrex and Bessamer bowls and the whisk is my favourite (also from Ron and Brian's) and the loveliest thing to use.
Yellow Spring!
Some psychologists use toys and play to find out what little children are thinking. I eavesdropped on her bath game.
These two are Daddy (Superman) and Grandad (white haired critter). Fair enough.
Oh, look. This is (Wonderwoman) Nanna who looked after her all week while she was abandoned by her mother.
This one was Shorty herself with her unusual and questionable outlook. This one is also comparatively short. It's not difficult to get why she matched these beloved people to these characters.
I am a little concerned as to the choice of character portraying her mother though. Have you guessed it?
Hmmm. I need to spend some quality time with that child on the week-end.
