A month in the life of Jasmine Maya

Part 26: two years one month. Jasmine enjoyed her second birthday, and was especially pleased with the Smarties on her birthday cake. She received a play kitchen and has since cooked many meals and cups of tea for her family. She enjoys pressing the pretend buttons on the toy microwave, saying 'beep, beep', and turning the pretend tap saying 'pissshhh' for the water. She also occasionally does the ironing on the kitchen's ironing surface.

Another present Jasmine particularly enjoyed was a colouring book and a packet of crayons. She calls them her 'dawdy' (drawing) book and 'dawdy colours'. She draws spiral shapes with her crayons, but unfortunately she doesn't always remember to keep to paper or colouring books!
