a conversation

bunny: hello...

spoon: hello bunny, what are you doing?

bunny: just hanging out

spoon: oh no! i've lost my face... where's my face gone? what am i going to do?

(this is a combination of two current favourite games:

'puppet shows' conversations between inanimate objects and 

'losing things' pretending you've lost something and then trying to find it)

i've recently noticed myself collecting little treasure to bring home for m. to look at when we're out and about on walks.

she's usually not particularly interested in them for too long (aside from pulling them to pieces and spreading them from one end of the house to the other!), but i'm hoping that as she gets older we can start to look at them together, and maybe work out what they are if i don't already know.

i'd also like to get her a magnifying glass so that she can start to look at them in more detail... most things are much more interesting when you look at them very closely.

to herself: don't worry m-lanlan, you'll find mummy
