Noah tells me

he will build things when he grows up.

Build things and then knock them down and then build something bigger and better.

He is all about the bigger and the better.

He always wants to know what makes the world go ’round, his mind a constant ball of enquiry and imagination.

The pirate hat?

He tells me it helps his brain to think.

Ivy just wants to be a fairy mermaid princess

and spread magic throughout the land.

I think she’s got that covered.

(Her only issue lies with the mermaid part – because I’m not a mermaid, I won’t be able to come to the bottom of the ocean to wash her clothes).
