About Me (Neehma)

They say I am “Sassy” and a Diva, but I disagree. I am full of inquisitiveness and love to learn about lots of different things. I am a natural chatterbox and a happy little girl.

I love unicorns and rainbows and have a terrible addiction to white chocolate, my mum goes mad. My favourite colour is pink and I love watching “Gabby’s Doll House on TV. When I am not watching TV, I enjoy baking with my music on, and would like to learn some new recipes. Can you build with Lego? I love Lego so you might be required to sit and build some princess castle or a sports arena with me 😊

No two days will be the same, we will have a great time together, ooh and you must help me with my exercises that I have to complete – the hospital doctor is so strict!
