my girl


she's still into The Jungle Book (every day begins with: "let's play that you are walking through the jungle when suddenly you see ...")(we still listen daily to the soundtrack, although now in English, rather than Dutch)(since English is another thing she's into)(due to a slight misunderstanding (ahem! who, me???? incredulous expression), her English rendition of Shanti's song is somewhat less offensive than the original ('mother's hunting in the forest, father's cooking in the home...'))(... and she does brilliant bum-wriggling imitations of Balloo, as well as fantastic yoga-inspired imitations of Colonel Hathi's walk).

she is also into ballet in general and Peter and the Wolf in particular, in which she performs all the characters, except the wolf (because bad), the wall (because boring) and the grand-father (don't dare to guess...)("mama, lie down here and put your feet up in the air so you can do the pond!").

finally, she's into high heels. which we as the powers that be fail to approve of. to her great disappointment ("mama, let's say i am seventeen now and my feet have stopped growing... so, you're walking through the jungle, when suddenly you see a beautiful dancing princess with high heels... and then you say...").
