All sounded very logical and straight forward to me. I had warned Sasha as she jumped up to go and 'help' the girl that she should be good and not try and take charge. I was pleasantly surprised with her friendly, if somewhat 'Oso-fied' approach.
Luckily the little girl was receptive to this sudden interruption
and to being helped in a bossy sort of way. Sasha set about helping the girl sort the pieces as suggested.
'I'd like to have a puzzle like that' said Sasha, 'would
you like to give it to me for my birthday?'.
Thankfully, bearing in mind this girl had never set eyes on Sasha before today, she did reply positively and assured Sasha she would ask her Nan.

Sasha does have a sociable and friendly way about her.
She somehow knows how to be polite - as I think I've mentioned before, I rarely
have to remind her to say please and thank you. Let's hope it carries on into her teenage years! It's really difficult to
explain, but it's almost as if, despite not understanding why she has to do
it, she just senses that social niceties are the right way to go about things.
If I'm honest, I think she's probably picked a lot of that up from Dora and
Oso, so all praise them!
I watched furtively from a distance as the two girls
worked really well together. I could tell that Sasha was trying really hard not
to take over and be in control, and it was really lovely to see their heads
together as they chatted away.
After a good ten minutes Sasha returned to me, with a grin
on her face. 'Mummy was I being a good girl?' she asked with a grin. 'Yes, you
were brilliant darling' I replied. Her response?
'So can we go to the chip shop now then?'
