I ran into S, a work colleague and friend, in town today. She is a fabulous, loud, over the top, light up the room, best friends with everyone kind of gal. When we get together the results tend to be somewhat, well, loud and over the top. Today was no exception.
After we air kissed about a hundred times she announced to the world that she was wearing her "washing day undies" and they were currently "exploring the great divide". Then she unleashed her affections on the girls.
F and J have met her before and they both adore her. They giggled and twirled and air kissed like there was no tomorrow.
It was a new experience for Miss V though, and my kewl, calm and collected little earth girl was not so impressed.
S: "Who's this little cherub then?! Aren't you just the most precious little gorgie porgie thing I've ever seen?!!"
Miss V: "No. I'm V. And you're standing too close."
Darling S was speechless.

About Me
- Alison
- I'm Alison, and my three most important little people are Miss J, twin sister of Miss F - both 4 going on 14 and big sisters to Miss V - who is an impressive 3 years old and anything but the 'baby' of the family.
No doubt I will find it impossible to stick to one theme for this blog, so here is some background info that will hopefully add some sense the inevitable random posts...
The man of our family, M, is no longer with us in body though he is ever present in mind and spirit.
I used to be active in the performing arts 'scene' - Less so now as my girls take centre stage. Creativity is still a huge part of life, though being directed by three toddlers the art form is somewhat different.
I'm always passionate about dramatic arts and creative expression, especially as a tool for inclusion... Bringing me to my next point of focus - Awareness and acceptance of people with diverse abilities. I work with people of all abilities doing anything from playing drama games, making music, talking, teaching, learning and always having fun.
I guess one theme I CAN stick to is that last point - having fun. Living a joyful life is the greatest success, I feel.

on my word V is a character but at least you know she will stand her ground in life.
WOW! You've trained your girls well. And talk about empowered! After she gets to know S. she may warm up--when she knows how to deal with/accept her profuse, extroverted personality AND knows that Mom's kewl with S.
Love reading your posts! Thank you so much for brightening my days.
Thanks for your comments ladies!
This was actually another self protection victory for us. We're playing a game at the moment called 1-2-3 STOP! The child who is 'it' draws a line on the ground and then stands their safe distance behind it. Then the other players stand 5+ metres away and we roll the dice to see how many steps to take. When the players reach the line everyone yells "STOP!" - Because if you cross the line, you're standing too close! Then everyone runs back to the start and the last one back is the new 'it'.
Maybe S could play with us next time! lol
More power to V ... especially as everyone else was having such a positive time with your friend. Peer pressure isn't going to get to her :-)
I love catching up with friends like that - silly conversations, excessive laughter and lots of "do you remember when". An all 'round perfect way to pass the time if you ask me lol
