Well, now... one of these is quite simply cuter than cute. I mean she is the very definition of it. Little, and very fluffy and cuddly. Just gorgeous: claps her sweet hands together and slips out her little pink tongue when she gets excited, which is frequent. All right, well, there she is in the line, waiting for me to
...I'm about to touch the tip of her nose with the brush, when she .... ever so slightly ... wrinkles it, and tilts her head... tip of the tongue appears... bites lip and I get a little giggle. We exchange a look; she smiles knowingly, and a bright, mischievous little twinkle appears in her eyes. I allow the brush to dance a circle around her nose and make for the cute little target once more.... two quick little claps, and a delighted twitch of the nose...
After a little more play, I begin to make her into a little monkey:) She's quiet now, observant, engaged, head slightly tilted, never taking her eyes from mine... and all the while her eyes are speaking to me - right now they are saying, "You're enjoying this, aren't you, Mr Mesmerised? Mmmmm...I know you are!" When I'm done (I'm very thorough - it's an important job - so it takes quite a while) she flutters her fingers at me ("I want to whisper to you!") and whispers in my ear: "I want you to paint me tomorrow night as WELL!" Well, of course - that will be no problem at all. I'm more than happy to leave the boys to the teaching assistant....heh;)
Ah, it was sweet. Another one to store away:)
