Florence never fails to make us laugh and equally shake our heads in disbelief at quite how observant she is.
She cannot wait to turn 5 in November and talks about not one but two parties she’s planning (she said she would like one for family only and another for her friends) so I better get organising!
Born wise, this one gives us a run for our money, trying to outsmart us on the daily. I’m so tired juggling three kids, work and a looong summer, most days she does exactly that!
Below are a few funny things Florence has said recently I don’t want to forget.
When I reminded her I was chastised by security for filming outside a bank in our home town she replied, ‘Well, they don’t have a sign outside saying you can’t film’ and you know what, she’s right about that!
Whenever things don’t go her way (ie. buying a new toy every day) she’ll reply with, ‘This is the worst day of my life’ dramatically. We can’t help but laugh!
She became upset when I filmed her cousin the other day for a wholesome reel crying, ‘I don’t want her on my YouTube channel’. I mean we haven’t even uploaded content on YouTube together in any kind of ‘formal way’ yet but it has been on my mind so I think she’s onto something!
She usually starts a sentence with, ‘Do you know what…’ before proceeding to inform me of the different dogs, cats, squirrels and butterflies she’s seen that day. Florence adores animals.
Lastly, chatting about the aforementioned parties, she informed me she would like a combination of Hello Kitty and KPop Demon Hunters along ‘with a disco ball, donuts, cupcakes and dancing’. And that’s just the party for her friends. Wish me luck!
