Puppet Shows
Inspired by visits to Fairyland, where she has now seen a few puppet shows, Olivia will frequently ask us "Do you wanna see a puppet show? It's about [insert name of train here]."
This morning she got up from the breakfast table and with great dramatic flair asked, "Do you want to see a puppet show?"
Then, assuming a warning/conciliatory tone, "It's a liiiitle bit scary."
Then, her eyes widening in emphasis, "Um, it's really, really, really scary."
"And, it's about a butterfly..." this of course makes T. Jay and I start to crack up... we're holding back our chuckes as Olivia finishes up, "and a crab that PINCHES!!"
The final flourish is Olivia jumping up in the air, brandishing her crab-claws. The kid has an understanding of drama... and, apparently, some interesting puppeteering concepts.
