Dear Poppy,
You are at the most delightful age. I know I keep thinking every age is the best, but this one REALLY is amazing. You are talking all day, non stop and you say words I did not even know you knew.
Your pappa is particularly thrilled because you love going to the Science Museum to see 'yockets (rockets) to the moon' and the BIG Circle and to the Natural History Museum to see BIIIIGGG Dinosaurs. Today we went to the Science Museum again (we have been averaging once a week) and I was surprised that you know your way all along the ground floor of the museum. You know that first comes the big circle and the machines that go 'round and round'. You are able to walk ahead of me very confidently talking continuously about what comes next. You know that rockets are in the following room and then are choo choos and then your favourite YED CARS (Red cars).
The first time we went to the museum together, we had cake at the cafe and then I gave you ice cream a little later at our favourite crepe place. You have still not forgotten this. Every time we go, you ask for cake and is (Norwegian for ice cream). Today we met Fernando at the museum and you loved hanging out with him.
Today was another milestone in your life. Keira, Kim and Jeff, our next door neighbours moved out into their very own house in Ealing. We are going to miss them so much. We often dropped in at each other's house spontaneously. After you girls were asleep, we sometimes had dinner/drinks at each others as our respective monitors worked at the other's place. It was amazing. Poppy, when you were a little baby, your pappa and my first few date nights were thanks to the Hiltzes. When we were on holidays (which happened quite a lot in this year), every time we came back, our fridge was stocked with basic groceries.I do hope you continue to see Keira frequently, she was indeed, your very first friend.
Love you Poppy...
Mummy
