Ana has a new hero, with a short stumpy dome and a short stumpy funnel. He has a blue coat with red stripes and his coaches are Annie and Clarabel. She is currently insisting on being called Thomas, Daddy has been renamed Gordon, Rose is James or Rosie (a new engine) and Mummy is Rosie or Percy according to Ana's thinking at the time.
The upshot of this is that Daddy and Ana chuff constantly around the lounge diner (now the Island of Sodor), acting out the scene where Gordon pulls the express and gets so tired that he falls asleep in a siding, only to have cheeky Thomas run up and shout "peep peep, wake up lazy bones!!!". Ana takes such delight and gets so excited by this that it can't be played after dinner time, otherwise she'd never go to bed!
Thanks to a swanky new phone (thanks Caroline!) I can now take pics when out and about, enabling me to capture the joy of the girls in their new sunglasses! They absolutely adored them, as you can probably see from the toothy grins. The grins are getting more and more toothy as poor Rose is teething at the moment, though it seems to be abating now after about 2 weeks of 'fun'!

Rose is a very good non-verbal communicator, but today she took a step forward - saying both 'apple' and 'mine'! These may have sounded to the less interpretive of you as 'appa' and 'my', but a mother knows... What a clever baby!
