"Gimme it.....
NOW!..... please:)"

Zany Zadie is a fierce little firecracker and yes, as often as you’ve heard this one, DYNAMITE does, indeed, come in small Zadie-sized packages. Youngest in our threesome, the limitless energy of our three-and-three-quarters year old Zadie, is a crucial ingredient to their success. Without her vigour, the trio might otherwise not mobilise. What with Ben’s overly cautious nature and Thandi’s need to please, they might never go down the rabbit hole of adventure if it was not for Zadie’s seeming fearlessness. 

In that ponytail hides the wildest of mops, each curl more carefree than the next. Her favourite is a ripped blue princess dress, and her mom has given up on cleaning the chocolate smudges from her chin. A parent’s heart gets used to bumps and bruises when your kid climbs trees as if they’re Spiderman and speeds down hills on a balance bike, the way Zadie does. Because of her confidence and zest for life, it is easy to forget that Zadie is, after all, still a toddler. Until she has a tantrum, then the threen-ager reminds us well and truly how primal and urgent her needs are. Because she is the little-lest, Zadie melts hearts quicker than she ignites frustration. That smile is less manipulative and more pure unadulterated charm. Zadie is sincerely loving and tactile. 

Brave above all else, she often sets the exciting incident in motion. In that ponytail hides the wildest of mops, each curl more carefree than the next. Her favourite is a ripped blue princess dress, and her mom has given up on cleaning the chocolate smudges from her chin. A parent’s heart gets used to bumps and bruises when your kid climbs trees as if they’re Spiderman and speeds down hills on a balance bike, the way Zadie does. 

Because of her confidence and zest for life, it is easy to forget that Zadie is, after all, still a toddler. Until she has a tantrum, then the threen-ager reminds us well and truly how primal and urgent her needs are. Because she is the little-lest, Zadie melts hearts quicker than she ignites frustration. That smile is less manipulative and more pure unadulterated charm. Zadie is sincerely loving and tactile. She loves nothing more than a hug or high five from friends and family but if she feels wronged, it is a Greek tragedy! Although toddlers’ emotions are very real and need to be respected, one cannot help but find even Zadie’s meltdowns endearing.

Lead by her heart, with Zadie, impulse always wins over prudence. If something catches her eye, her curiosity will draw her to it, coupled with her fearlessness, it can lead to disaster. This is where Thandi and Ben really play big-bro and -sis for her and in that safety, Zadie can really shine. Because of her size, she is often mistaken for an easy target by the antagonists but don’t be fooled, it is often Zadie that pushes them over the line and saves the day.
