Princess Brooklyn - 3y + 2m

Dear Princess Brooklyn

This whole month you have had your Nana Shona staying which has meant that you get an extra set of eyes to entertain. We haven't done too much exciting unfortunately, mainly due to lack of sleep and the weather not being too great. You had a few birthday parties this month. I  had to drop you at one and leave because I had to go to work. You had a great time, my favourite was Millar's bacause I got to take miniature train rides with you. I love having Brooklyn and Me time.

Nico's group is not on in the school holidays which has meant that you and I got to go to YOUR playgroup on Wednesday mornings. We made Easter baskets the first week and then had a little easter egg hunt the second week. I love watching you play with your friends, realising how much you really do play together now, rather than just along side each other. You make dolls/ figures/ animals talk to each other and will try to include everyone in the play. Games are still a bit out of your league. You understand taking turns but any other type of rule escapes you. Maybe in a few more months.



Holly comes to play here once a week or so, and you sing/chant "We are best friends, we are best friends, we are best friends" (Well, it is more like "We are bes fens" but we know what you mean) and have a great time together. You cuddle up on the couch for quiet time and watch Tinkerbell or Barbie. You have been going to daycare together on thursdays for a few months now so I think that made you even closer. You are going there for Easter today with Nana Shona and Dad, I will be there after work. We did a mini one in the front garden this morning



You have been helping me out in the kitchen a fair bit the last month or so too. Pouring, mixing, scraping. I think the only reason you like baking is to lick the bowl. Popcorn is the other favourite at the moment. Luckily we have glass lids so you can see the kernels popping and bouncing around the pot.

Just this week, we painted the hallway, dining and playroom. you got to help out in your playroom and were very good at it. You had a great time and were very proud of yourself.



Also this month I found my EFTPOS card you were "playing" with in September. In a bag of cotton wool balls under Nico's change table.

Hey Brooklyn, guess what.
I love you

Mama

Your funniest utterings this month.

"Mama... look... Dad is full of it!!"  (He was standing on a chair, leaning on the wall painting. I think you meant something ab out falling...)

"Nana, put that dirty old thing out and come and play!" (cigarette)

Driving "Mama, can I sit on your lap?" (No, you are not allowed, the policeman will get angry) "But he isn't here! He can't see me!"

After i told you to go to the toilet, which you didn't want to "Oh! Bother!!"
