She wanted to fill it with loads and loads of great stuff.
Beginning with.....
..... the treehouse.
She spent hours playing in there, alone - of course - free from the yelling and screaming of her little sisters. In fact, she actually spent the whole night, fast asleep in there, after having several sleepless nights listening to mum and dad trying to get Violet off to sleep, and then Susan.
She asked her mum and dad to help her with different parts of her homework, since some subjects were a little trickier than her active little mind could comprehend.
They were pleased to do this, especially around nap time for the twins, when Ginny would happily get the two of them off to sleep!!!
Helen was determined to do everything possible. Even try and bake muffins.
Unfortunately, she must have inherited her mother's distinct lack of cooking skills, since every plate of muffins that came out of her little toy oven .... was of a Horrific Quality!!!
Nonplussed, she even tried her hand at 'Addressing her Royal Subjects', namely her dad. Much to Ambrose's delight. He applauded and bowed graciously to her as she waved her plastic sceptre around.
Naturally, Violet just HAD to try and ruin things with that voice of hers!!!
Helen also loved dressing up!!!
However, all these things can be very tiring for one little girl.
Oh and not forgetting that one time, when she asked if she could walk Rina. However, the walk was cut short since it was getting very close to curfew and there was no way she would risk getting into hot water again.
Instead, she compensated by giving Rina a nice brush over, much to the delight of said doggie, who stood there obediently and wagged her tail. And stole a sneaky lick too!!!
Bath time was a favourite too, as she played submarines!!!!
Yep, Helen was a generally 'all around little girl' who loved adventures.
So much so that her school has challenged her to a bug scavenger hunt.
I wonder how that'll end up????
