It's been awhile... I knew well ahead of children that life does that to you, no matter what the circumstances.
Over the past month the storytelling duties got passed onto my wife and ultimately dropped, although the blogging was the obvious first choice of sacrifice. The Three Little Pigs are still there, and David the Gnome has had adventures in Oz, helping a princess find a prince, babysitting gnome and Martian babies, and sailing a boat. And my wife loves to make David bake cupcakes for some reason.
Tonight the sleep schedule was re-established, and David came back, along with his friend Kenny, as they sailed their boat in the sea. A big storm came up and the big waves knocked the gnomes and their boat out of the sea. They woke up on a desert island, and after starting the process of fixing the boat, were met by strange gnomes.
David: Hello there
Strange Gnomes: Hello, we would like to eat you.
Okay, okay, I admit that the tonight I introduced my soon-to-be three year old daughter to cannibalism.
The cannibal gnomes chased David around until Kenny could construct a clever pull the rope, trip the cannibals, and dash away to safety gag. They fixed their boat and got home, where David and his wife were very happy to see each other again.
Maja immediately picked up that the cannibal gnomes were bad guys, but I was more impressed by the flurry of questions she asked afterwards:
"Do David and his wife have TV?"
"What movies do they own?"
"What stories do they tell each other?"
It seems like David the Gnome and his wife are becoming real, albeit short, people.
Now I just need to find a name for his wife
