Such a cute ladybug

By stillawake On May 15, 2012 · Add Comment
Mersina was so cute today. She would bring me her little ladybug backpack with the harness; indicate she wanted the straps placed over her shoulders and the buckle at the front clipped into place. Once that was secured she would hand me the strap and head off to our bedroom where there is a little [...]

I would occasionally speak to Mersina in Greek but hadn’t fully made the transition until her first birthday. We were at a pub off Gloucester Road for Mersina’s birthday – just having a coffee – and we were sitting near a family where the mother spoke French to the two children and English to the [...]

Growing up

Her granddad made me a cup of tea and Mersina explored the bookshelves and the newspapers. Not long afterwards her [...]

Mint

We have some mint growing in a flowerbox on the window sill. When Mersina was a tiny, I would distract her from any falls and scrapes by taking her to the mint and letting her play. She didn’t show any signs of recognising that it smells any different. Yesterday I took her to the mint [...]
