I think Rose was the happiest I’ve ever seen her today at 5pm. She was mid-flight, chasing her cousin Ali around the house that Mark and Fiona were staying at. Her giggle was so spirited and excited that she looked like she might catch flight, or burst into flames. Her skippy gait was so full of bounce that she could’ve been running on rubber. Needlesstosay, Rose loves her cousins, and she really loved playing with them today at my brother’s 40th birthday party.
The other funny thing about today is that she ate a big dinner of pasta (eating approximately twice what her cousins did), but yet I caught her helping herself to chips from a bowl after dinner. I got a glimpse of her out on the deck stuffing a big handful into her mouth. Mark’s friend Stephen admitted that he’d seen her coming back and back to the chip bowl. Little monkey!
