Loves it when I turn out the lights and she says ‘dark’ (does this when we pass through tunnels on the train too)
Wags her finger at Slinky Malinky ie naughty, naughty
Gives Tim & I cups of tea and reminds us that they are ‘hot’
Runs around the house trying to swot flies with the flyswotter
Continues to have imaginary conversations on the mobile phone, particularly with Nana and Jo
Pretends she’s a baby, crawling around or being wrapped up tightly in a blanket and saying waaah
Dons an apron and cooks with her playset (particularly when I’m preparing dinner)
