It was just before Christmas last year that she came home and announced that she had des gros muscles. I insisted on evidence.
She clenches her fists, her jaw. Her whole body trembles with the exertion.
Her muscles, pronounced the French way ("myooskl"), make for a good party trick. She takes the command very seriously. After all, here's proof positive that she's a growing girl.
I laughed out loud at this! How delightful. The sheer concentration on her face in the first pic is priceless!
ReplyDeleteHelena the prize fighter! These are terrific.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. A promise of things to come for my wife and me.
ReplyDeleteVery very cute.
ReplyDeleteOf course, everyone knows that clenching the teeth helps muscles be way more muscle-ier!
What a darling girl!
How delightful! I laughed out loud, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you and Helena both got exactly what you wanted for Christmas.
Wow, she looks so much older than the last picture I remember.
ReplyDeleteGreat little girl muscles. :) Sign her up for wrestling.
Words cannot express how much I adore these pictures. Helena is such a joy. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Christmas.
