Ada was having a little bit of trouble settling for a nap. We heard some thumps so knew she was pulling some books off her bookshelf, while in bed (she can just about reach). Then we looked and saw that she had fallen asleep, cradling one of her books.

I decided to make a stocking for Ada this year, partly to try out my lovely new sewing machine, which was a birthday present.
Since I'm a procrastinator, I only started this week. Fortunately, it turned out to be not too hard. Will add her name at some point - possibly even in time for this Christmas!
On our way to Devon to celebrate Mark's mum's birthday with a night in Clovelly. Ada seems to have inherited the need to cover her face to sleep from both Mark and me. She did this all herself.
