True Love Ways
Posted under People I love
Presenting our neighbour’s eldest girl Miss I and her impressive array of jewelry, made at nursery today. And A Guinea-Pig, I can’t remember its name. I lost track as there are quite a few and there was a tale to be told for each one and how it got its name. I know Rosie, as she is a lovely red colour and has a club foot. Hmm. what IS this one called?
I love how fearless Miss I is, and she’s been like that from a tiny baby. Always the one cuddling vast dogs, in the pen of any animal she’s allowed near. Her love of animals is so heartfelt and true. She absolutely adores our cat Parker and will hunt him around the house for a cuddle…so sweet. Quite the opposite of our boys who are generally quite timid around animals. Hence Bertie’s sudden and fierce love of horse riding is all the more surprising. He loves the ‘giggle riding’ (trotting) and just roars with laughter to go faster! This is not the child I know, but I LOVE it xx
Miss I and Bertie played an imaginary game of ‘saving animals’ this afternoon. I asked her if she was pretending to be a vet.”No”, she said, “We’re saving animals. We’re being animal…animal…animal…SAVOURIES”.
Waaaaah. Got to love that well known snack…animal savouries.

I love her jewelery! Just how many guinea pigs names did you have to try to remember?
Beautiful photo. I see you’ve been reading your own posts ;)
heyyyyyyy…where the heck is my avatar??
Oh, there is is.
nursery school jewelry is the best, though her jewelry looks nothing like my nursery school gems, which is mostly made of painted pasta!
This photo and story are so lovely, so tender. Thank you for sharing this beauty!
hehe animal savories? too cute.
Marion stole the words right out from under me. My kids brought pasta necklaces home which I still have, but let me tell you I would have worn this lovely piece anywhere.
You should tell your young lady about P.E.T.A.http://www.peta.org/
How blessed you are to have little ones around to share the fun. How great that you take photos to preserve the memories. My girlie has a great memory of her childhood, think its partly because of the photos and the movies…WE HAD A BIRTHDAY TRADITION THAT YOU MIGHT LIKE? Each bday, after the usual cake and present party, after everyone but family went home.. we would watch the videos of her blowing out the candles from the previous years. I’d cue the tapes up at just the right spot so it went fast…Some years she’d protest at first, but she inevitably would get sucked into the show. We’d end up watching vacation footage or halloween parties, or something. She has a camera phone at school now, I just have to get her to figure out how to send me pics! The show must go on huh?
Beautiful! I love the mix of colors and the light!
I don’t know about the snack, but I love the thought of a child yelling that she was an animal savoury. I love her bracelet, too. I think I might have to make one with Sloane.
oh, oh this is precious!
