Kendi's Bedtime Story

This post is probably going to sound quite different from the rest of the posts, because LeAnn is the stalwart recorder for our family, but I just had an experience with Kendi that I couldn't not write.

Kendi has a routine for bedtime, she changes into her pajamas, brushes her teeth, says her prayers, has two books read to her, and last we talk about what she has done that day. She didn't have much to say about her day, but she looked at me and said dad I'm goin to tell you a story.

So here is the story.

"Once upon a time there was a princess and she was naughty and she ran away from home, and.... she ran into a monster and the monster said RAR I'm goin to eat you, please. The princess ran away, and was swallowed by a whale and then she got spit out and went back home, and her mom put her into the bathroom and into the garbage and then threw her into the garbage can (I think that she meant the big black garbage can) and said you have been naughty and the princess stinked pee-ew, THEE END."

I can promise you that we have never used garbage cans as discipline, or bathrooms for that matter, but you can tell through out the story its a hybrid of cinderella and pinnochio with garbage cans. I couldn't help but laugh at how well formed her story was. She surprises me every day. She really is a joy to have around, I love her to pieces. She is our little angel.
