Still

Still with the owls.

We were shopping this weekend and walked into Zara (a clothes store for men, women and children). Kate started chanting,"Owl, owl, owl, owl...." I thought, what is wrong with my child? She's hallucinating now. But lo and behold - there, about 50 feet away on a little child mannequin tucked away on a shelf in the back corner of the children's section, was a little girl's handbag with an owl embroidered on it. Of course mummy had to buy it. Well it goes with her new French outfits! (oh yeah, when we were on holiday in France I went to E. LeClerc, which is a competitor of Auchan, and bought all her 18-24 month clothes - they were sooooo cheap and sooooo cute....all maroon and pink and purple and green....love French clothes)

And of course we had to buy the owl toy from the Disney Store. And a Pooh bear to keep him company. Kate hasn't stopped kissing them since (and she makes them kiss each other too), so it was a good investment. I was telling Nicola (our Goddess/Saviour/Nanny) that Kate had better appreciate being spoiled like this because when (if) #2 comes along it's all stopping. Fortunately Kate likes to share her stuff with everyone so it shouldn't be a problem (says the naive mum).

Speaking of kissing - Kate is really into kissing everything and everyone. This morning she kissed the button on my jacket. And the button on Nicola's shirt. And she kisses every animal on every page of her Hide-and-Seek-Jungle book. And all her stuffed animals in her cot (of which there are many - we are having trouble fitting her in her cot these days, and it's a cot bed which is bigger than normal). And apparently all the boys in Tumble Tots last Friday (we will have to have a talk with her about that....).
