Aw! Emilia looks as though she's been crying, or at least very tired

29 Aug 2012 7:27am

@CElliottUK: no, not crying (although she does that, too, when something doesn't go her way ...) - she just woke up from a nap ...

Ainsley from Derbyshire, United Kingdom

She does look very tired, but we all know that feeling!
