Let's Play Daddy's Home

Here's the deal: you're Laura, and you're waiting eagerly for Josh to come back to spend time with her. Use two plushies - a lion and a Squishmallow - to represent Furaha the lioness cub and her brother Orko.

Put on some vintage rock and roll music (or upbeat songs from Oliver & Company) and dance away!

Pretend to take a walk around town, or the forest, or the beach (or in this case, the garden) and take your plushies with you.

When you go out shopping in town, take your plushies with you. Have fun pretending they're sneaking things into the basket when your peers aren't looking!

Fool around with them in your bedroom - play at tickling and chasing each other.

And when someone comes to check on you - pretend they're stuffed animals, like Laura pretends Furaha and Orko are when someone is coming.

Tin Tin's Dress

Tin Tin is wearing a new blue and yellow dress for International Rescue's relaxing day on the beach, and she playfully reminds me that she doesn't want it spoilt, no matter what. But after Brains, Alan and I bombard her with various antics involving seawater, sand from building sandcastles and ice cream, a playful chase begins with lots of tickling, squealing and laughter.

Mummy's Little Angel

On one day of her bedrest after giving birth to me, Lady Penelope bonds with my newborn self, tucking us both under the soft duvet, whispering that she and Parker will always comfort and cuddle me, as well as the other members of International Rescue - they're like a big family to me: the littlest member of the organisation. She tickles, cuddles and snuggles me, proving how gentle of a mother she is to me.

I Love Tin Tin

It was during one of my sleepovers on Tracy Island that Tin Tin and I spent time together in the lounge, bonding and showing our sisterly love for one another. Noticing the book 'Guess How Much I Love You' on the shelf, I decided to ask Tin Tin: "Guess how much I love you?"

The love measuring wasn't at all a math lesson, but a lesson in comfort and caring. What first started as measuring how big our love is turned into a walk out onto the beach at night, with Tin Tin and me saying things like "I love you from your head to your toes" or "I love you the same height as a palm tree". Sometimes, we would tickle each other and play together with each saying that we love each other.

And then, when it approached midnight, I was getting a bit tired, so I whispered to Tin Tin as she held me in her arms, "I love you all the way up to the moon." Tin Tin lay down and relaxed on her deckchair and kissed me on the forehead. She said the same words Big Nutbrown Hare said at the end of the book:

"I love you all the way to the moon - and back."

Let's hope Alan hears this. He loves me too.

A Day With Parker

When Lady Penelope falls ill with a cold, I spend the day with Parker instead. While he does homeschooling duties in a rather weird way compared to how 'er ladyship does it, we still have fun sharing cookies, tickling each other and sharing in a beautiful grandfather-granddaughter like relationship.

Baby Animals

'Er Ladyship's Robe

It is early one Winter morning. I am far too tired to wake up, but I do anyway, and I put on Lady Penelope's soft pink robe. It's so cuddly, I lie back on 'er ladyship's favourite armchair, all cosy and warm. Then, Parker arrives and starts to tickle me. As he tickles my bare feet, I laugh loudly. I fall onto the floor in a heap, laughing loudly, then Penelope comes in and swoops me up in a big, warm loving hug. Still giggling, I hug back.
