Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. This whole real life thing is getting in the way of being a productive dad. I didn't even remotely get the chance to clammor over boxes to get to the books I wanted.
Tonight was an excited little girl getting her pajamas on and hitting the bed with an excited, "Daddy, tell me about the wolf and the piggies..."
Of Three Little Pigs, this father has them squared away, at least the basic version. Maja particularly like when I hit the mattress when the Wolf is knocking on the pig's door.
I tried Jack and the Beanstalk, but Maja (a) didn't see anything wrong with eating the three magic beans and (b) she wanted another David the Gnome story.
For David, I recapped yesterday's story before I started the new one. I was impressed that she remembered David helped a squirrel that had a boo-boo on his leg. I also introduced the fox to the story. I don't believe Maja has ever seen a fox, so the best explanation I could give her was a sneaky dog. I'll find pictures tonight.
The fox visited David with a big problem at the farm. The cows were making pink milk! David jumped on the fox's back and rode off to the farm. Maja told me where to go on the farm, an after a short tour, David ended up in the barn. The cows didn't know what was going, much less that they were making pink milk! So David, hid in the barn until two people walked into the barn and mixed pink paint in the hay! Following Maja's lead, David yelled, "hey you guys that's not nice, " and the mysterious people ran away. The cows were safe, the milk was normal
*Not the best story I could tell. Our youngest had demanded pink milk from the store, and since my wife is a shopping pushover, we have a half gallon in the fridge. After some experiments, it appears that I'm the only person in the house who actually likes pink milk. After telling her that they mix pink paint to make pink milk, she may never try it again, which is okay in my book.*
