Her kingdom

I'm watching TV with Bobbin this evening before bed. We're staring at The Baby Channel - she still loves it. After 8pm it's filled with images of happy cutsy animals accompanied by soft lullaby music in the background.

As we sit bleary-eyed, two deer come bounding across the screen. Bobbin points and exclaims "Mommy, look at those deer! They're just like mine!"

A few minutes later an owl appears on screen and settles onto a tree branch. Bobbin's response: "Mommy, that's an owl. I have one of those. He lives in my fowest".

It's true. Deer and owls abound on our property with daily sightings (and feedings) of the first, and occasional encounters (close and far) of the second.

Tim and I are merely dwarves to her Snow White.
