Prayers

There have been quite a few occasions now when I'll be watching Cara, and notice that she'll fold her arms and close her eyes, on her own accord and say she's praying.. but I think today was the first day that I heard her say something. I just thought it was so cute. I've only tried maybe twice to get her to say a prayer by repeating what I say, and it's never seemed to work. I wonder whether they do it with her in Nursery.. anyways.. this was with no prompting whatsoever.

She was sat at the table eating her breakfast, we'd already said our breakfast prayers and she was halfway through her cereal. I think I went back into the kitchen to make a bottle for Felicity. When I went back into the dining room I saw Cara praying.. I was planning on sneaking up on her and kissing her cheek while her eyes were closed. (I know - looking back on it now I realise that would not have taught her reverence during prayers.. actually the opposite). Anyways.. I didn't quite get to her when I heard her say.. 'Thank you for nursery, and thank you for snacks and thank you for water.' How cute! I love my little girl.

What a beautiful little girl. I think this is my most favourite photo of Cara so far. Gorgeous.

Matilda

Cara and I watched Matilda yesterday.  we watched it in a 4 or 5 different stints throughout the day, and Cara really enjoyed it!  So much so, that even after finishing the film we later went downstairs and I asked Cara if she wanted to watch CBeebies while I fed Felicity.  She kept saying something, but I couldn't figure it out, sounded like 'told her', the I thought maybe she was saying 'hold her', that she wanted to hold Felicity, but then I figured it out, she was saying 'Matilda'.  How cute!  I'm excited about the fact that we can watch something together that isn't CBeebies.  Matilda is such a great story - I've even started reading the book, as I haven't read it since I was little.  I love Roald Dahl.

We might watch Witches next.. but Cara may get a little scared.. although she didn't do too badly with Miss Truchball so we shall see.

Cara's Bath Fingers

Cara is loving baths so much at the moment. She'll stay in for so long - look at her little wrinkly fingers. It's great to watch her so intensely interested in what she's playing with. At the moment it is mostly filling and emptying old bottles, she plays with them way more than the proper bath toys.
