July 3<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nWhile on the phone to grandy I can hear Wee Beastie chattering away to herself in the lounge. At the end of the call I come in to hear her saying to herself with much glee: “And that was the story of the three bear humptys!”
\nA fairy tale\/nursery rhyme mashup? Sounds great! I ask if she can tell me the story of the three bear humptys.
\n“Ohhhh… I don’t think so.”
\nSo it appears the tale of the three bear humptys has been lost to history. Sorry folks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

July 4:<\/p>\n

My daughter, ladies and gentlemen. At 10pm, in the dark, reading ALL THE BOOKS. Staring at the illustrations and doing the sound effects.<\/p>\n

Needless to say there were no books on her bed when she had her goodnight kiss some hours earlier.

July 11<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie driving a train. Grandy in the caboose.

August 3<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie knows we bought some treats home from the supermarket – English breakfast muffins, and mini ice-blocks.
\n“So what do you want for breakfast?”
\n“I want a…. ICE BLOCK!”
\n“How about a breakfast muffin?”
\n“Yes please! And after that, a BREAKFAST ICE BLOCK!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

August 12<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie’s favourite toy right now is a wooden plane. She puts her small animals and people in the cockpit, and balances more on the wings, and flies it around the room narrating the adventure they are having.<\/p>\n

This plane is in fact a spaceship built by my grandfather, to my design, three decades ago. (It is in scale with my Star Wars figures and has a compartment in the back where a bounty hunter could put his prisoner. Oh yes.) She found it in a cupboard and claimed it for herself, and it makes me _indescribably happy_ to see her playing with it. Thanks Percy!

August 28<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie has found a 30cm ruler made of transparent plastic. She is wandering around holding it up to her eyes: “I’m looking at things through my measuring glass”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

September 16<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie walks one of her Little People up to a toy playground swing. She does voices for both.
\nPerson: I would like to swing!
\nSwing: Yes. Here is your change.
\nPerson: (kicks over swing) But swings don’t have changes!
\nPerson proceeds to toy playground slide.
\nPerson: I would like to slide.
\nSlide: OK, here is your change.
\nPerson: (kicks over slide) But slides don’t have changes either!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

September 18<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie lines up all her cuddly toy friends.
\nWB: We are doing a show! You can sit right there.
\nMe: Great! What is the show about?
\nWB: They are all asleep and then they wake up and go to a show!
\nMe: Excellent. What do I do?
\nWB: You just sit there in the theatre. The show is about to start!
\nMe: Okay!
\nWB: The show isn’t starting yet because they are all asleep. They need to wake up to start the show!
\nMe: Shall I help wake them up?
\nWB: [angry] No! They are asleep at the start of the show! [thinks about this] This show is stuck.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

September 24<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Me: All right Wee Beastie, if you’re not coming, I’m going to pick your socks. I pick… these ones!
\nWB: (several rooms away) No! I don’t like those ones!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

September 30<\/a>:<\/p>\n

**Wee Beastie has a toy helicopter.
\nWB: Daddy daddy! I have a rescue helicopter! You be this doggie and you need to be rescued!
\nMe: OK. (as the dog cuddly toy) Woof! Help! I need to be rescued!
\nWB (as helicopter): I don’t think so.
\nMe: What? Help! Help!
\nWB: You have a sleep. I might rescue you later.
\n**WB flies helicopter away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

October 3<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie obviously did some rearranging of books and friends after we said goodnight…

October 9<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie frequently talks about how her favourite character in the Hairy Maclary books is Scarface Claw, and how he is nice really, he just needs a friend.
\nNow she’s become obsessed with Monsters Inc., where her favourite character is the unscrupulous Randall.<\/p>\n

Oh no. She likes bad boys.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

October 15<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie starts kindy today! (That’s preschool for you overseas types.) She is very excited. We leave in five minutes..
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

November 16<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie watching a DVD. Two armoured knights enter pitched battle, swords clashing!
\nWB: Oh oh! They’re not sharing!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

December 12<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wee Beastie in the back seat of the car today, screaming and screeching in argument. The argument was between her left hand and her right hand, who were not sharing the cracker she was eating. Eventually they agreed to put the cracker back in the plastic container and save it for another day. And all was quiet again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

December 25<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas all! From Wee Beastie and her new friend, the Talking Frog from Monsters Inc.
