The One When Cella Comes To Visit Part 2

My brother-in-law has been away on school camp this past week, so my sister Beck and her daughter Marcella came to stay a few nights.

On the first night I happened to show Marcella the video Lach and Haz and I made last week. After that, every few minutes it was "See Harry!" from the little Miss. Yes, she wanted me to keep re-playing that video. To be honest, there's only so many times I can listen to that awful Poker Face song! So I decided to see if I could get little Miss to make her own one... here are our results:
She's such a little cutie, isn't she? The cutest thing was the greeting she would give me everyday as I got home from school. I hadn't even gotten out of the car and she would come running outside, calling out "Hello Tylie" and then demanding I follow her back in the house. She's real talkative, and actually quite loud, but such a gorgeous little girl (and she knows it! - just like her mother was at that age...). She's a real scallywag, too... you should see her when we try to give her a bath. Water, water, everywhere - she thinks you need one too! And trying to put her to bed? I was supposed to read her a story whilst she stayed in her bed, but that is near on impossible. She listens for about 15 seconds and then points to various bits in the book and makes her own commentary, or turns the pages wanting to look at other bits of the book. Its virtually impossible to read to her! She's like a little jack in the box, she doesn't stay in bed while you read to her, she keeps hopping down and wandering around the room, looking at different things, picking them up and bringing them back to you, saying "What's this?". That's how the itty bitty booklight that was in the room got broken - she kept turning it on and off, on and off, and playing with the clip... and it broke. Then she wants you to fix it! And whilst you're fixing that, she's getting a few more minutes out of bed - and bringing you something else to look at - and it starts all over again!
