When I meet Iris in town at the start of a ‘Big Girls Sleepover’ it goes without saying that I am going to be dragged into The Works to look for ‘craft stuff’ and it’s also times like this that I know my work here is done!!! Let’s just say my purse was considerably lighter when we left.
One of the things Iris set her heart on a pack of 60, white, wooden puzzle pieces (£3).
As soon as we got back to my flat she immediately set to work, first fixing a good few pieces together and then planning what she was going to draw on them to make a ‘proper’ puzzle ……..
…… which was a subject very close to her heart at the moment, I.e The Tooth Fairy, as she has her first two wobbly teeth.
It turned out, erm …… very black, as Tooth Fairies only come out at night, but I think you can just about pick Iris out in bed, said glowing yellow Tooth Fairy and Iris’s green lamp lighting her way! I did point out that the puzzle, with so many black pieces might be hard to put back together, but what do I know?
It’s a just fortunate that I had the foresight to take a picture to show her mum and dad what she’d been up to, is all I can say ……….
Happy Day!
