Five years old and I can see how you’ve grown, this past year has been a ma-hoo-sive move on from the baby chubbiness.
Girls you can read! I never imagined at the beginning of the year you would read so well and enjoy it too.
You can write. And you spend hours filling out your little notebooks, listing all your friends’ names in a register style and ticking off who’s having packed lunches.
You can argue – a bit too much sometimes for my liking (I’m echoing every mum in the country with more than one child here) everything is a race now from getting dressed, to who gets to the door first, to who bags the ‘best car seat’
You both love princesses, especially the Disney ones, you love Scooby Doo, ice cream, swimming and playing with daddy. You love being read to every night before light’s out. You both still love cuddles and alien kisses ( a big wet lick on the cheek when you’re least expecting it) You love jumping into our bed on a weekend morning and snuggling for about 5 minutes before demanding ‘Let’s go downstairs now’
But you have your differences too and today I shall celebrate your differences with the following 10 questions.
10 things about me – Alice
The words to describe me are thoughtful, kind, shy, happy, intelligent, lovable, a princess, clumsy at times – your knees have been grazed pretty much most of the year. Loyal, loving and gentle
The food I could live on is You LOVE all your food Alice but if there’s ever a second helping of pudding you’re hand is always the first to shoot up high. Alice says – Pasta, strawberries and ice cream
My favourite game to play is … this year your games have been heavily focused on princesses but you love puzzles, you enjoy playing on the computer and on your LeapPad. You love playing in the park and you adore swimming too.
My favourite film is Scooby Doo
If I had one wish it would be to learn to ballet dance
My favourite toy is Leap Pad
When I grow up I want to be a princess
My best friend is Serenity
10 things about me – Bessie
The words to describe me are a giggler, funny, lovable, thumb-sucking (still!) odd tantrum throwing, inquisitive, messy-Bessie, chatterbox, princess. Cuddly, lively, open, occasionally shy. Intelligent. Kind and gentle.
The food I could live on is pasta, strawberries and ice cream
My favourite game to play is … LeapPad, Hide and seek
My favourite film is Beauty and the Beast
If I had one wish it would be I would like a Beast and a doll to dress up and play with it’s hair (styling head)

When I grow up I want to be a princess

Thank you, they had a wonderful day and are fast asleep right now.
Oh bless. I love how they want to grow up and be princesses: and yet I can see they are already little princesses – gorgeous! x
Author
Thank you, they will always be my princesses, I’m hoping as they grow they find a more suitable vocation in life as being a princess could be expensive for mum and dad ;)
I believe the accepted career route to becoming princess is to marry a handsome and rich prince, so hopefully there will be no cost to the parents! :-)
This is such a gorgeous post Mari! Your girls are just so cute, although I imagine possibly a handful of cheekiness at times?! I love that they look so similar but are different in so many ways, which you’ve outlined. Lovely post :)
Author
The right amount of cheekiness, yes and thank you for your lovely compliments. I love discovering their differences as time passes, it’s fascinating
Happy birthday to the girls!

We all love our own don’t we? It’s the perfect day to celebrate all that is beautiful and wonderful about them so one day they may look back and see through my words the years they can’t remember. One thing is looking through a photo album, another thing will be to look back through a blog -so much more information :)
Awww, they are just beautiful Mari. Your house must be so much fun. xx
Author
I’m sure your house is fun too Emma ;) They do add a beautiful ray of sunshine to our lives this is true and I wouldn’t have it any other way xx
Gosh, they are just so cute! Loved how you let them describe themselves :)
