The girl who knows how to work a room!

As Amy and I have been talking about the girls and having reflected on Lucy's recent move to 'grow up', I felt it was time to reflect on Anna's developing ability to 'work a room' and gain maximum attention. She skilfully does this with a combination of her gregarious nature, visual comedy, toilet humour, excellent timing and a wonderful expressive thing she does with her eyes that just sucks you in. Not bad for a four year old! These will be dangerous skills in the adult world if she retains them. I hope she does as they form the core of her spark and what makes her Wiggle. Sometimes I watch her at a meal for example and you can see she is scouting the room for an opening to take command and with adult timing goes for the jugular with a quick remark. Fun loving and free of spirit, she lights up any room she is in. There is downside to this skill as Anna is practicing the art of over-exaggeration and negative trying to work a room though make believe tears and a very quick recovery. We are wise to this and are stamping down on it quickly. Anna - always leave a room laughing and get in the final word with a quip or a one liner, never leave a negative and lasting memory, a bit of advice from your old dad..
