Kirra floats another Pretty on Tilda's head. 
Tilda huffs. 
""Kirra!"" calls Mummy. ""I'd like to show you something!""
"S'ow?" says Kirra, pushing herself to her feet. 
""Over here!""
Tilda stands carefully. 
"Come come!" Kirra toddles across the Emu Place over to the Buzz Houses. 
Tilda grumbles at her heels. 
Mummy! 
Mummy smiles hugely and opens her arms for Hugs. 
Kirra smiles hugely and climbs into Mummy's lap and hugs her and kisses her neck.
Mummy giggles, strokes Kirra's hair, hugs her back. 
Tilda squawks. 
"I'm sorry, Feathers, am I ignoring you?" 
Kirra giggles, buries her face in Mummy's neck.
Tilda ruffles. 
"C'mere, you big featherduster."
Tilda snorts, struts closer beside Mummy and Kirra, sits down with a noisy fluffing. 
"Ooo, so pretty!" Mummy adjusts a Pretty. "Did you do this, Tilly?" 
Kirra giggles. "Mummy!" 
"Or was it you, tyke? Did you wrangle the Great Tilda into sitting still for five minutes?" 
Kirra preens, "Didit."
Tilda huffs. 
"You both look /gorgeous," says Mummy. 
"Danku!" 
Tilda whistles, puts her head on Mummy's knee. 
"You guys wanna see something neat?" 
"Peaze!" 
Mummy leans forward--
Kirra twists and slides to sitting. 
--cups purple Pretties. "See?"
Kirra leans forward. 
The Pretty has a Buzz. 
"Buzz?"
"It's a Bee."
"Bee."
"It's fuzzy, like Tilda."
Tilda snorts. 
"You can pet it if you're careful."
"Buzzy."
"Watch." Mummy moves so very gently with one finger and touches Buzz. 
"Buzz," says Kirra. 
"Your turn?" 
"Buzzy." Kirra reaches--
Mummy takes her hand, shifts closer to Buzz, folds all but one of Kirra's fingers, and they move ever so gently and touch--
"Ta!" squeals Kirra. 
"Tilda's just as soft, isn't she?" 
Tilda scoffs. 
"Gan!" 
"Again?" 
Kirra nods. 
Ever so gently, they stroke the Buzz, and then it buzzes away to the Buzz House, and Kirra and Mummy and Tilda sit with the Pretties and listen to the Buzzes.
==Warm and Sweet==
Originally posted here, inspired by Celesse. 
Kirra clambers up the Trips to the Out-Inside–bounces on the squeaky part–and toddles into the Food Place.
It smells warm and happy and sweet.
Mummy stands at Don't-Climb-Please with a pot and lots of jars; Daisy sits at the Everyone-Loud-and-Food-Together, Inventories out in front of him.
Kirra pushes over a Sitting and clambers up.
"Hey, kiddo," says Mummy. She has Pretties in her hair and they're moving.
"Buzz," says Kirra.
Mummy nods, checking on a jar of sticky Buzz. "I have bees in my hair."
Kirra likes sticky Buzz. It's sweet. She reaches–
Mummy hands her a block of Buzz house.
Kirra coos, plunks down on her Sitting, and noms away at it.
"When I'm done here," says Mummy, "how would you like to help me plant more flowers?"
Kirra's very sticky but cheers, "'witty!"
Mummy glows prettier than all the Brights in the sky. "Well then." She turns. "Daisy, you mind finishing up here?"
Daisy grunts, unfolds himself from his Sitting and lumbers over, big hand hugging Kirra's head–
She grins up into the Clap Side, smearing sticky Buzz all over.
–as he passes, then picks up Kirra's Sitting and moves it–
Kirra squees!!!
–away from Don't-Climb-Please. 
Mummy says laugh-coloured, "Thank you, Daisy." Offers the Spoon.
Daisy grunts again, takes Mummy's Spoon and spot.
Kirra's sticky–
Buzz house!
Kirra noms.
"Up you go, kiddo," says Mummy, lifting Kirra into her arms. 
Kirra coos, gets a sticky handful of Mummywear.
They leave the Food Place and cross the Out-Inside–
Mummy doesn't bounce on the squeaky part.
Kirra looks back, nursing the Buzz house, and pretends it squeaks.
–down the Trips without tripping, and to the Spoon Place.
"Hang on, love," says Mummy.
Kirra snuggles close.
Mummy stoops and swings up her Spoon bag.
"'poons," says Kirra. 
"Got my tool bag and my best helper," agrees Mummy. 
Kirra hums around her Buzz house, tucks her head under Mummy's chin.

==Newborn==
Inspired by the picture of the baby llama in "Well-born"
Kirra glowers at the newborn llama nestled in the straw across the aisle.
Cria chitters.
Kirra drops her head to her knees with a groan.
Daisy queries.
Kirra drags her head up, nods to the cria. "He looks like he's been dipped in paint."
Daisy studies, concedes.
Kirra sighs, tucks her knees closer to her chest.
