Ella!

Is she a fox? A Roo? A bee? A duck? Ella's animal alter-ego continues to mutate. She has been eating honey on toast, and claimed to be a buzzy bee for several days, even after a visit to the aquarium. She briefly became a duck at the Science Museum, where she also pressed buttons and learned about Charles Babbage ("there was once a man that made a computer that was very lovely, that amazing computer was there, that was my story!"). But then she decided she was really a platypus, and has remained one ever since. Also this week Ella found out about cooking turkey and opening champagne bottles as she prepared for Thanksgiving. And she has now started opening doors on her advent calendars -- a Quentin Blake one and a Pooh Bear one.
