More from E

One of our new going-to-bed rituals is telling the girls "pretend stories." Typically, Bear starts us off by saying, "And I drive there (to wherever) and Sister drives home..." Driving is an important piece of the story. And, if it's up to Bear, the story includes going to "the pizza place."
The other night, I started a story. Before I could get very far, E interrupted: "Can we PLEASE go somewhere else? I don't want to go to the pizza place. We ALWAYS go there!" (Aren't we talking about pretend, here?!)

E came into the kitchen this morning and said, "Mom, I was thinking. And a Special Event came into my head."
