Clary's Adventures

When my niece (and sister and brother-in-law) visited in May last year I planned a bunch of activities for her to do with Aunt Clary. We made cupcakes. Addy was really into Encanto  at the time, so we listened to the soundtrack while baking. Here Addy is doing her best impression of Louisa. One of Addy's favourite parts of baking was licking the batter. Don't worry, she only had a little bit. I'm sure she would've had it all if she was allowed. We had a brief interlude of hide-and-seek. Then it was time to ice the cupcakes. Addy's other favourite part of baking was licking the icing. Our cupcakes got the Addy and Aunt Clary seal of approval - even if we were a little biased. Next it was time for dress-ups. Gigig even joined in. Addy didn't want to hold my hand at first, but then decided she did. We did a little craft. Although Addy was much more interested in cutting the paper. I tried to convince her to have a nap by reading on my bed, but that didn't work....

Just like her Aunt Clary, Addy loves dancing. When the Bravos visited Australia last year I invited Addy to be a special guest in one of my ballet classes at LKM Performing Arts. I introduced her to my students and she watched some of the class. She even got to try a couple of ballet steps at the barre. To mark the occasion we had a little photo shoot in the foyer. Addy seemed to really enjoy this part. I really enjoyed bringing my niece to work.
