Shine On, Springtime

"It's SPRINGTIME!" Maia bellowed at me last week when she spotted a bunch of daffs growing in someone's garden.

We were on the way back from a play in the park. Maia was stopped every 3 feet or so to look into people's gardens and pass comment on their choice of garden gnomes ("Look Mummy, that one looks like George!"). We stopped to play with ginger cats that crossed our path. She hit Excitement Level 7 when we passed her school and saw her teacher, Miss Keyworth, coming out.

"Miss Keyworth!" Maia said, sunshine shining in her eyes "It's SPRINGTIME!"

The sunshine is making fairly regular appearances at the moment, and her bounce levels seem to rise the more she gets.

I am glad we went for Sunshine as her (second) middle name - it certainly seems to make her happy.
