Communication between myself and IJ is very time-consuming at the moment. We appear to have reached the 'communicating by paper aeroplanes' stage. I wasn't aware this stage existed, but experience has now told me it does.
It involves me asking a very straight-forward question and IJ disappearing upstairs to write her answer on a paper aeroplane, which she then flies down to me. This is a little frustrating at times, especially if I have simply asked her if she would like a drink.
It is also quite sweet, or at least it would be if she wasn't sneaking into my office, taking paper out of the printer and then leaving a trail of it across the floor.
Above she is saying: I need help and fast. I need some shoes and I can't decide which ones I can wear, which she sent when I asked her why she was taking so long to get ready.
All this has come about since watching Toy Story 3: she is now on some sort of 'Buzz Lightyear-themed intergalactic mission', whatever that means, which requires half of her toys being carried a round with her at all times, and her dressing as a cow girl.
I have no idea what this has to do with paper aeroplanes but apparently a special form of communication is needed when on such missions. Normal talking just does not take place.
That's all absolutely fine of course. It's good to see her using her imagination and playing with some old toys again.
Although I think I need to introduce her to the world of full-stops.
