While he says he reminded the kids extensively that the presents were for Mommy, their interpretation of my interests was somewhat different than my own.
Little Bird got me a package of Cars candy. Which he promptly ate most of. (I was cool with that...they were really gross!)
Squirrel bought me a lovely fairy play doll which she named Fairy Dust. (I have to say though, her selection was kind of brilliant, because now every time she starts to play with her princess dolls, she remembers Fairy Dust and I am suddenly expected to play along, rather than passively observe. Clever girl, this one...)
The best part of Fairy Dust is that she is a little unique.
When we opened her up, we realized she only had one shoe.
Eh, no big deal. I mean, for a dollar, can you really expect a complete collection of accessories 100% of the time?
And then I realized why she only had one shoe...a practical solution to her other issues.
It seems Fairy Dust is missing more than just a shoe.
At first I thought Squirrel wouldn't notice, but of course she quickly did.
I told her Fairy Dust had a "little foot"; just like Nemo has a "little fin."
She seemed to take that just fine.
The best part, was later as she was playing with Fairy Dust and the Princess Barbies, I heard her telling the Princesses that Fairy Dust was special, to be nice to her, and that her "little foot" helped her fly and land on flowers, and that was why Fairy Dust is the best fairy. EVER.
And that is why I am pretty sure I have the best daughter.
EVER.
Awesome. LOVE these stories!!
