Painfully Adorable

Anna is so cute it hurts sometimes. She wears disheveled pig tails and has crooked teeth. She's tiny and still speaks with a lisp. She loves every kind of animal you can name. As you can see, she's about to birth her very own Golden Retriever...

That's why when she told me this,

"Mommy. I've been holding my finger up in the air and singing to the birds, but none of them will land on it,"
I didn't have the heart to tell her, "Ain't never gonna happen." I mean...would you?!

So, last night, after she'd apparently been trying again to channel her inner Mary Poppins, this time with different songs, she asked why it wasn't working.


"Anna, ask your dad. Maybe he has an answer for you."

Yet another reason why Anna is my hero! And I think your answer was perfect. Jeremy never seems at a loss for words. I'm curious to know what his response was!

Did Anna ask Dadddy? What did he say?

Adorable! The next time you go to the zoo, take her to the bird show - maybe they can make your little girl's dream come true!

Awww... this reminds me of our little Indian ringneck parrot. I had to teach him to fly because the breeder never gave him the chance to learn when he was a baby. Then I trained him to fly to my finger and land on it (he was a sucker for treats). How cool is that? He would even do it -- once in a while -- for my son. He passed away last December (the bird, not my son) and I miss him.
