Josephine went to a friend’s birthday party today. After hearing the birthday girl’s mother give a short speech, she decided to give one too. And encouraged others to do the same. Then asked to kick on at the local sports club. She also spent the evening singing maths songs. That’s Josephine.
She is an endlessly entertaining child, incredibly sweet, climbs into my lap at every opportunity, asks big questions about life and the world, and chose croissants over chocolate chip pancakes for her birthday breakfast so she could add extra butter.
