Such a girl

In less than two weeks, Alicia will be two years old.

And because we have friends and family that live overseas, the postman always surprises us with unexpected gifts that trickle in as the big day draws closer.

When I got home from work yesterday, there was a big Postpak lying on the table. Ripping open the wrapping paper with such fervour and mounting anticipation of its contents, it was as if the present was meant for me!

When I saw what was inside, I eagerly rushed over to where Alicia was playing in an attempt to get her to try it on. Surprisingly, she was more than happy to oblige and so I present to you....

Princess Alicia!




She then proceeded to spend the next 10 minutes (which is pretty long in toddler land) admiring herself in the mirror, giggling at how the earrings jingle jangled as her shook her head.

Why do I get the feeling playing dress-up will be coming up in the not too distant future....
