Carl Speaks

Carl is holding up a picture of a big turquoise shape.  He says to me:

CARL:  I'm going to tell you a story.  Once there were four versions who lived in a Zelda land.  They were going to save the princess Zelda.  They beat the laughing flaming skulls.  And this dot at the end means "The End."

ME:  I like that story.

CARL:  Actually, it's not done.

Then he goes back to the table to draw more.  I can here him carefully enunciating the title of his story:

CARL:  The ... Four ... Ver- ... sions.

Can you tell from whence the inspiration comes?

Like last night, when Soren asked me if Sven could sit in his lap.  He actually makes that request pretty frequently.  And then he sits there, with Sven cuddled in his lap, looking very proud and happy. Often, one of the boys will tell me very earnestly, "I want Sven to be a part of our family forever."   What mother wouldn't melt at that? In the evenings, after scripture study, Soren likes to make Sven "talk", sharing his thoughts on the day.  Soren uses the same gravelly voice that Scott does to put words in the baby's mouth. "My favorite part of the day was eating," he'll say, while holding up Sven's ...
