Life goes on.

We are in the process of moving out of our apartment. It's been a great year living here, but the time has come to move. In between things EV has been playing her usual games and recently that includes 'soup' making. The latest one consisted of pieces of cheese in water, to which she added a few prunes. I had to put a stop before more food was sacrificed for imaginary play. At least this one didn't smell as strong as the banana soup she made the other week.



Dada and EV made a microwaved chocolate cake in a mug the other weekend. They were quite proud of their efforts, it tasted rather nice.

EV is still interested in writing. She likes to copy words and has taken to embellishing her writing with hearts (those are the little circle squiggles).




On Monday morning EV said that she wanted to "do a pretty painting like the one on the pencils". I gave her a piece of paper and she got stuck into it. I was interested to see how she copied the colours including the shadows on the pagoda and the water. I think this is the first full page complete drawing we have had. EV was pleased with the results and I managed to photograph it before it got folded up and sellotaped. We have noticed her drawings have been evolving a bit lately, people now get full arms not just sticks and she sometimes draws bodies, not just heads with legs and arms.
