marvellous, magnificent


m has a board book called "hoo, who are you?" - i think it may have been the first book i bought her (once i knew i was pregnant - i bought a whole stack of books for her in paris when she was still just a twinkle). anyway, it's a series of animals presenting themselves in alliteration or rhyme ("i'm a pretty, prancing pony," "i'm a playing, spraying elephant"). on the last page the owl asks, "hoo, who are you?" and I always respond for her: "i'm marvelous, magnificent maxine."

oh, but she's so much more.
