Hi mum,
I'm starting to think that dad loves football and the news more than his happy home life. Yesterday he didn't even flinch when Felicia plucked out her pacifier and said "pa-pa".
She was not aware of his rudeness, thank goodness.
I cheered her on and I said to her: "ma-ma" and "Ze-lia", but I think she's just taking it in for now. She won't repeat a word right away. Then a few days later, out it pops, like a piece of toast.
Being around Felicia has become the absolute best part of my day and I look forward to seeing her after school more than anyone, even Elena. I can't believe how lucky I am to have my very own baby sister.
Xx Z
