Terrible blogger, I am. I’ve just been too exhausted to write anything meaningful. I’ll be back. I will. But in the meantime, I bring you this conversation:
I was reading “Jack and the Beanstalk” to Annika.
Me: Fee Fi Fo Fum. I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Annika: Fee Fi Fo Fum. (giggling) I don’t like that fum word.
Me: You don’t like Fum?
Annika: No. I only like Fee.
Me: What about Fi and Fo?
Annika: I like Fi, but not those other ones.
Me: Fo and Fum?
Annika: Yeah. I don’t like them.
She wouldn’t tell me why. I love the three year old mind.
I thought it’s a good idea to read this story to Selin, -never did that before- so last night I read it to her before going to sleep but she didn’t really relate to money matters (even though she’ll be turning 3 next month) She didn’t understand why they were so poor and why they were so happy with so much money and gold.
But she did find the story really exciting and thought that the chicken laying gold eggs was really funny. As long as the story ends happy, she’s happy ı guess…
So thanks for reminding me this one! Keep on writing about Annika, I really miss her.
Too cute. Maybe someday she will tell you.

thinking of you (pl.) and hope that you’re well xxE.
I just wanted to see if you’d posted anthing new and how you’re doing. I look forward to hearing more about Annika. She is just so cute. I can’t wait to see what jewels Danile comes up with once he starts talking. Hugs ~ Patti
Just checking in to see how you are doing. Thinking of you and hoping you are well.
I love the way the minds of little ones work!
I’m sorry, I don’t know how else to contact you. I’d like to ask you something. Would you mind emailing me at ourowncreation at gmail dot com? That sounds so ominous, but it isn’t, I promise!
