One day, Emer will rule over her mother's kingdom as a proper queen. For now, she is content to wait, preferably for a good long time yet, and to rule over a kingdom of her own imagining, building castles in the sand. Like her mother before her, she is a benevolent monarch and she rules over her tiny kingdom with generosity and enthusiasm. At least until the tide comes in and the waves wash it all away.
Aw, thanks! She really is, and I'm very proud of her, so I'm glad you like her!
I never really had the opportunity to try building sand castles. When I was Emer's age, I visited plenty of lakes and ponds for fishing trips, but mud castles don't have quite the same appeal. I didn't get to the ocean until I was much older, and while I was tempted to try, I didn't really have an opportunity to do so. I'd love to try my hand at it sometime, though. Mind you, I imagine that a mold like the one that Emer is holding probably helps!
