Growing Snowflowers

A wild rumpus and a sweet request



The other night we were driving home from our interesting moon festival activities when we heard Piper in the back seat exclaim "oh no Mummy, oh no Daddy!" I turned around and asked her what was wrong, she replied very softly "oh no Mummy, we need to turn around and go back to the bookstore..." We'd visited one of the neatest bookstores on the weekend so we thought she wanted to go back to see the chicken and cats (we'll explain more later)...

I said "oh Honey, it's too late to go to the bookstore, but maybe we can go on the weekend"

She got very quiet and started sniffing..."but Mummy, we NEED to get some books for Paisley, she doesn't have any...and that's so sad"..."sniff"

She was truly upset that Paisley is alone in China and without books. We had a nice talk about how Paisley is probably in an orphanage or maybe in foster care and that as soon as we know where she is that we will send her some very special books.

Piper sleeps with at least 3 books each night. Her favorites are Charlie & Lola, Fancy Nancy and her Children's Bible. This morning when I went in to wake her she was sleeping with her Bible on her chest...she opened her eyes and said "Mummy, I have a Bible seat belt!" too cute!
