alfreda

We thought she was campaigning to change her name.

'Alfreda fetch it.'

'Alfreda carry it.'

'Alfreda eat it.'

Then we realised she's just flexing her ego. 'I'll Frieda fetch it, carry it, eat it etc'

'I'll Frieda show Mummy.'

'I'll Frieda put this shoe on.'



I'll Frieda will take on this big wide world in I'll Frieda's own magnificent style, and we'll gladly watch from the sidelines knowing that every day, no matter how exciting and glorious it was, she comes back to be our baby and I'll Frieda kiss Mummy and I'll Frieda kiss Daddy and I'll Frieda kiss Lego and I'll Frieda kiss kitty and I'll Frieda kiss Penguin and, and, and ...

Goodnight Alfreda, love you.

  1. Ditto Mari. She is totally adorable. I miss that age. #5 is Jessica, and when she was that age is was "Shessca cleans up" "Shessca loves mommy" and on and on.
    Don't forget to enjoy the little things, they wont be there for long...
