She just seems to know.

We've done three loads of washing this morning. We've been to the post office. We've been to the fabric store. We've done the school run, the ballet class and the breakfast dishes. I've sat at my computer for an hour doing my twice-daily email catch up. And I've written a list of all my orders to fill today. Eloise has happily amused herself through all of this. She is sitting happily playing with her toys right now. The only thing that frustrated me briefly was the very slow speed at which she chose to walk up the path to the house. She came in, finally, smiled and popped a little gift on my list of orders.

She just seems to know exactly what to say.
