Rachel is getting more demanding about the stories she likes to hear. Since Drew got home last week she has started asking him to tell her stories featuring animals -- a kitty, a birdie and a doggie. So, since Drew is responsible for putting her to bed at night (at least until he goes to Seattle on Mondays and Tuesdays, then I get uniterrupted girl time with my kid again), he's had to make up tales about Kate the Kitty and Homer the homing pigeon.
"I bet you tell her stories about how Homer carried coded messages to the Allies during World War II," I teased.
"Uh, no," he replied. "I tell her that Homer carried very important messages from the village to the king when the village was being threatened by a dragon."

Tonight the story was about Kate the Kitty. One of these days I'll actually have the patience to sit outside Rachel's room and listen to Drew spin out the tale.
"I'm not creative enough to make up stories," I whined when he came downstairs after he'd put her to sleep.
"You think you have no creativity??" he chuckled. "You're gonna meet the most demanding editor you've ever had!"
