Each night, and often several times throughout the day, Aaron and I tell Kayla stories. Some of the famous ones include tales of Squeakers the Monkey, the Honey Bear and Bazella the Princess.

I wrote it down as she was telling it (and she kept asking me, “Mommy, why are you writing?”).<\/p>\n

Then there was a little horse …<\/p>\n
To be continued for another day!<\/p>\n
I know the story doesn’t make complete sense, but I thought it was cute. I liked the recurring sneezing theme, too. Maybe Kayla and I will provide photos or illustration to go with her story some day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
