Lia

What can I say? We love her beyond words. I've never seen a toddler with more energy. This girl needs action! Shyness has never been a part of her personality. She's straightforward, social, and friendly. The second day after moving into our house ("Lia's house!" as Lia would say) the girls from across the street rang our doorbell to play with the new kid, and off she went (ran) with them - without even looking back. Lia's favorite pastime apart from 'keeping on moving' is to talk, talk, talk. Every day she comes up with new words, expressions, sentences. "Ben hat kleine Haare! Und Mama hat grosse Haare." ('Ben has little hair! And mom has big hair'). Independence is very important to her. She needs to do everything alone, and also take over. Would we hand her our car keys, that girl would stand with both feet on the accelerator and drive away. Full speed.

Always a lady. Lia with stylish British handbag sent to her by Tara.
