Ella bounced as she opened the package, clapping her hands at the box and the treasures. 'Am I a big girl now, daddy?' she asked, delighted to hear him agree that indeed she was.
'I want to give Liam a gift too!' she exclaimed. 'Tomorrow, love. At your party.' 'Was that why we didn't send something to Ben, will we give him too something tomorrow?' 'What? Oh, of course, darling.'
Ella clapped her hands again, crawling up in mummy's lap and hugging her. 'Can we write a letter back to Liam? I've been practising my letters really good.' 'Of course. You're a big girl now.'
Dear Liam,
Thank you for the present, mummy says we have a present for you too tomorrow. I want to see you now, because I'm a big girl now. Mummy and Daddy both say so. Will you stay tomorrow? Can we play sleep over? Will you bring your wand? We can play with the wands and Dragon and the pirate treasure. I will wear my tiara, will you be a prince again?
