Josephine growing up

Josephine is still hooked onto this topic of marriage, despite us regularly trying to steer her in a different direction. She gets into her "wedding dress" (which was actually a "snow fairy" dress to start with) about 2 or 3 times per day. She's now marrying her toy cowboy. :-) Pretty cute though, I must say. She's a darling!

She's doing well at kindergarten. Still plays a lot on her own (perhaps language related) but seems ok nevertheless. Would of course rather stay at home - which she does too :-)

She enjoys Skyping with Gwan and Gwamps. Gets mega hyped there and tries to do all her tricks. Just got to practice avoiding permanent damage to the computer! But she loves to stand on her head for them (and then Gwamps mirrors her! Wow!), chats away, runs to fetch things from the other room. Begs me to buy her tickets to go to England! Wish I could do that right now!!

She took very well to Japan, Tokyo. When we were there, she said she just wanted to go back to Germany to fetch Pippi (her doll) and then we could come back to Tokyo.

She went on one of those pulley-slides for the first time in TOkyo and loved it. Up and down, up and down! She's far more agile now and brave too. Doing basically everything you can think of. Had some people telling me: "Wow, she's an active one!". I privately thought..."yes! But imagine boys!?!" :-)      ...Amy!!xxxx

She's also picking up quite a bit of German now. Can understand virtually everything. Speaks more.

Actually a very affectionate friend. Often she goes up to Sophia and just gives her a hug in the middle of playing. And Evie and I too. And she tells me often how much she loves me.
