Sa-nanna

Alice has really bonded with a little chum at daycare recently.  She talks about many of the gang when we "chat about my day" (latest demand from the backseat of the car), but her new BFF is Savannah or "Sa-nanna". 

Savannah is an exceptionally friendly little person who always comes over for a chat when we arrive and depart the Dolpins room, if she is not too busy throwing herself onto cushions.  She and Alice are more like sisters than chums - many is the time we've arrived to collect our child to find one of them sitting on top of the other or a bit of rough and tumble going on.  Savannah has just become a big sister, so she and Alice will have lots to chat/lament about in the coming months, if they can stop trying to push each other over.

But look - it seems that they play nicely too.  From one of the daily reports this week:

Savannah and Alice initiated the peek-a-boo experience, with Savannah hiding behind the mirror and saying, “Alice, I hiding. Where S’annah Alice?”

Alice joined Savannah and were soon taking turns saying, “Where are you?” and then “Peek-a-Boo!” when they appeared.
