While in the States this summer Cecilia received a package in the mail from her Zha Zha enclosing what has become BY FAR the most fabulous thing she has ever received (from her viewpoint, in any case). As the packaging was Italian and I couldn't figure out the actual name of the toy, we just decided to call this "The Pegs". Anyone and everyone slightly related to her was coerced either through unadulturated pink-cheeked cuteness or incessant harassment by our little dictator to "COME DO PEGS WITH ME NOW! PLEAAAAAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
After two full months of Cilia partnering up with every grownup she could find, I have now painstakingly gone through all photos of pegs in action and am single-handledly awarding the gold medal in peg playing to: my sister ALISSA!!!! (please see above photo to see true peg-talent)
And here is a sampling of Cilia and relatives in action (either with The Pegs or enjoying other arts and craft projects):
