Skating on the brain

Sophie was just sitting here, happily eating her oatmeal, when she broke into a sly grin, and said:

"Which colour your helmet? Yellow helmet! Ohhhh... Which colour your helmet? Yellow, yeah!"

(She had a yellow helmet last time we went skating.)



Also, an abnormal number of characters in her books now like to skate. "Parsley Rabbit skating. Rocky Racoon skating. Little boy skating. Baby beluga skating." (Okay, I made up that last one.)

Unrelated story: Holly wants me to relate that Sophie helpfully told her how she should get ready to go outside: "Lie down and put shoes on." Apparently, that's the easiest way.
