Zuzu, squinting her eyes at us: "I'm watching you!" As though she knows we're up to mischief and she's going to catch us at it. I don't know who she got that from. But she does it just right.
I asked Zuzu to tell me a story. She ran laps around the dining room table while narrating the following:
Once upon a time there was a fairy with bright wings, and she flied all around a tree that made her pixie dust. And one time she flew out into the forest and found her fairy friends, and then she invited them to go to her tree that made her pixie dust. Then she made some pixie dust tea for them. They liked it, and then they had some graham crackers with pixie dust on the top. Then they had some fairy cupcakes.
And then they made a tent in the forest and did a sleepover! Then the other day their wings couldn't fly, so they walked to the pixie dust tree and filled their wings up. Then they flied into the forest and got as many pebbles as they could to make more pixie dust. Thet flew to the pixie dust tree, then suddenly the pebbles turned into pixie dust! Then she poured it down. Then what she did is bought some ribbons and they danced!
And then one day they were going to a party. And then there was a witch, and she was pretending to be nice, but the fairies heard of this witch, so they did not listen to the witch. And then they had a fight. But then one of the fairies got hurt. Her wing got broken, and she couldn't fly any more. And then the other fairies checked to see if she was okay. They brought her to the pixie dust tree, gave her some soup, and then suddenly something very cool happened! Suddenly when they put their wings together it banded her wing and she could fly! [yeah that came from a Tinker Bell movie.] Then they lived happily ever after.
[What happened to the witch? I asked.] She got throwed in the dungeon by the police and she was gonna stay there forever!
Bear does a squeaky, soft, high-pitched voice when he first wakes up in the mornings. And at other times when he's feeling needy. I love it. I love it. I love it so.

Bear loves baseball and playdoh.
Zuzu draws the cutest pictures. She draws fairies and mermaids, porcupines and dinosaurs and more. And they all have smiley faces.
