Maia Mi

Must cover Xmas in here soon huh! - but in the meantime, a little heads up on Maia's latest 'thing' - role play. She'll take on the role of mummy when she puts bamse to sleep in the pram. Or she'll read her dolls a story. Or she'll put on a nappy on the baby. Or she'll play ring-a-ring-a-roses with a couple of dolls, holding their hands and making sure they form a circle. It's really cute.

She's also become a bit of a kleptomaniac. I mean, she always was a good one for stashing something away in her hand & you'd never know she'd taken the pen/toy from wherever until way later. But now she's into stashing things into her vest/pyjamas/babygro. Which can be hilarious. Like the time she stashed her megablocks and walked around like a robot with her legs all chunky with bricks. Or when we came home from nursery, had dinner, played, went up to have a bath and - as I undressed her - about 20 rings, of different sizes & textures - curtain rail type rings - tumbled out - how long she'd been walking around with those stashed in her vest I have no idea! As granny would say, "What a pickle!".
