... plus Ashtyn, Corinne, and Madelyn
April 2015
We were examining a huge beetle outside, and Madelyn (a natural-born bug hater) resolutely declared, “I don’t like beetles. I like bunnies.”
On a hike, Ashtyn said, “I have this great rock!” And Corinne said, “I have the best walking stick!” and Madelyn thought for a moment and said, “I have my Mommy!” (I was giving her a piggy-back ride.)

Corinne was VERY afraid on her bike ride (unknown to me, 1 training wheel was flopping around). As we were going down the hill, heading home, she was talking to the fairies on her bike, “phew, ok, ok, it’s Ok Periwinkle, we’re almost home, don’t worry, don’t worry.”
It was dinner time (without Tyler again) and Ashtyn wanted to play 20 questions. I just wanted them to eat so I said no. She said, “well, you’re done eating…can you just tell us about atoms or something?”
February 2015
Ashtyn plays dragon games at recess with a fluctuating group of girls and boys. Recently she informed me that it was “mating season.” I probed her about it (nonchalantly of course) and she simply said, that “it was mating season, but I didn’t want to mate, so I just built nests.”
Corinne spilled her water twice at breakfast. After cleaning and some deep thought she launched into a monologue about how princesses never spill their drinks, but fairies spill one time usually and mermaids, well they were just more clumsy, and the she, was “definitely still in the mermaid style right now.” She reassured us that she was progressing though and would eventually reach fairy status and with luck and hard work, princess status.
