Lessons with Charlotte

Posted on December 9, 2006May 27, 2010 by Sophie

Big sister Charlotte has been busy showing me the art of sand pouring and taking the lid on and off the play dough. She loves to teach me new things and I love to copy her (Mummy is concerned as to where this is leading… a few more years of Charli’s tuition and the pair of us will certainly be double trouble – that is if Charli’s the ring leader!).

A couple of our favourite games are bumping down the stairs on our bottoms (Mummy’s a little concerned as to whether this multi-time a day hobby will lead to compressed spines and a very worn carpet) and trike riding (Charli’s giving me racing lessons).
