English Ellie Time

Elle had another successful time in London, albeit shared with my shopping efforts. Tomorrow will probably be the prettiest day since we're going to the flower market on Columbia Road, but these photos are specific Ellie focus times.

Here we're heading toward Victoria and Albert's Museum of Childhood over by Bethnal Green. Oddly we were the only ones on the bus, so I went ahead and snapped a photo of her excitedly waiting to get off for her 'big inside park'.



The museum had a decently sized sandbox on the top floor.
She patiently waited to be Queen of the Sandbox between school group visits.
She befriended another child visiting alone with his grandmother.



The dollhouse exhibit was phenomenal, including a dollhouse from 1673
that was designed to teach young girls how to run a household.
Elle discovered the interactive dollhouse for quite some time.


It's always important to swing by the hobby horses...



Little Angel Theatre has the most adorable puppet shows.
Today was a toddler version of the Alice in Wonderland show
we attended last week, but Elle seemed to thoroughly enjoy both versions.


She was quite pleased after the puppet show and heading towards a
wonderful Mediterranean lunch :)
