So, using purple play dough, I made a round head, square body, and four limbs that Elizabeth declared to be snakes before they were attached. "Voilà une maman," I told her, pleased with myself.
She took a tiny piece of play dough and stuck it onto the mommy's head. "Here's your eyes," she said. Another little bit. "Here's your nose," she continued. It was more or less in the centre of the face. I made encouraging noises about needing a nez pour sentir. One more little bit got attached to my head. Ears? I thought.
"Here's your telephone, Mommy," she declared. Next little bit turned out to be a robot piece.
Yeah. I think I should get Ursula to draw a Mommy as Elizabeth sees it - eyes together and far to the right, a blob of a nose, no mouth, and a telephone and robot piece permanently attached to an earless head, all done in purple.
