History repeating

Whilst wanting to avoid comparisons with her sister, when Esther is sat in a highchair demolishing serving number 12 of lunch it is hard not to let your mind wander back to Nancy doing the same thing all those years ago. However, whilst Nancy turned into a glorious bruiser Esther retains her elfin, albeit wristless, qualities. For the time being at least. Avocados are hollowed out, bowls of pasta multiply in number but all terminate in the same location. She is, it is fair to say, a find eater. Very fine indeed.

Much of this calorific booty is being spent propelling Esther around rooms and gardens at glacial speeds. And all the signs thus far would point toward her being another most joyous bottom shuffler. How we've missed it. The bottom shuffle perfected is an untold joy.

Her technique is perfunctory at present as is her range but from the morass of legs and arms a finer technique is emerging and it won't be long before she can cover terrifying distances at great speed. This will generate regional tensions as Nancy will no longer have an absolute monopoly on movement and Estival will be able to grab toys and general ignore Nancy's proprietary claims to things.

Her amphibian qualities abound too. Swimming lessons have emboldened her and rather than lying sausage like in the water she no sits proudly in the water like a ham-berg and splashes and coo most happily. Reenactments of the never mind album draw ever nearer.

Above all else though, Esther is deliriously lovely. This loveliness stems from a pervading rotundity that is everywhere. And smiles. As she is a well tempered, beaming commandante.

As these pictures readily attest
