As she finishes the last of the washing up:
Leonie
" Tarra it's time for bed "
Her head lifts up from lying on her daddy's lap, eyes half asleep:
Tarra
" yay, story time "
As they walk together to Tarra’s bedroom, Tarra is tucked tightly Into her bed. Daddy kisses her good night. Mummy dims the Light:
Leonie
" Now Tarra, how about we read your new storybook you got off Aunty Cathy tonight?"
Tarra
"No mummy, don't be a silly billy, I want to read Rabbit foo foo"
Tarra takes out a fairly new, but slightly tatted looking book from under her pillow. With a slight sigh from mummy, together they begin reading Tarra's new favourite story book.
Meanwhile, Daddy is listening in from the corner of the room, a little surprised because his little girl appears to be reading the book, reading along as each page is turned.
