Arrrr Matey!

Hannah has been using her creative skills lately. These drawings are of pirates. I asked Hannah why the people up at the top were frowning and she said "because they had to walk the plank." And Jimmy was in a sword fight with a pirate apparently. Who knows how she thinks of these things...we have a book about the BackYardigans who pretend fun adventures and I think she got the pirate idea from them.

Yesterday she wanted to put on a program for me and Abe. So she practiced in the play room and then came out with a giraffe puppet. She stood on a stool behind the couch and told the following story. "Once there was a giraffe who wanted a friend. She asked her mommy to help her find a friend but her mommy was too busy, and her brother was too busy, and her daddy was too busy. So then the giraffe said a prayer to God to help her find a friend. The next day they went to the park to see if they could find a friend. And they did! And they were so happy." I'm guessing a psychologist would have fun with that story, but I thought it was at least sweet that she thought to pray. And perhaps I need to take more time to be with Hannah so her next story won't include a mom that is too busy. Keep on keepin' on!

I love that Hannah is drawing pirates. That is too funny. And great job that she did a little play about prayer. Didn't that make you feel great that she knew Heavenly Father would help her giraffe find a friend? Simple faith. So sweet!
