My four year old is obsessed with becoming a butterfly when she grows up. She has gone so far as to have her sister wrap her up with blankets, in the hopes that she would morph into one right before our eyes. She was very determined it was going to work and stayed wrapped up like that for a good hour and a half. I am sad to report, it did not work out as she had planned, she is still a mere human.
I am not really sure why she wants to become a butterfly. I guess if I really wanted to know, I could just ask her. It is, however, fun to listen to her talk about her hopes and dreams of being a butterfly. She plans to never leave me, as she will be flying around our home and yard at all times. Although, she has stated she would also like to live with Emma and Abigail someday too. As a purple butterfly she will fly around landing on different flowers drinking their nectar. It should be mentioned that earlier today she realized there are no butterflies in the winter.
Now as I listen to her talk about her dream of becoming a butterfly, I can't help but be humored by it. Let's face it, who wouldn't want to be a butterfly? They fly around without a care in the world unburdened by all the worries of us grown-ups!
Sarah has got to be one of the funniest people I know. She is very imaginative and always has been. I don't know any other child who has had an imaginary pink dinosaur living with them for two years! For those of you who may not know, the dinosaur has been kicked out apparently. Ironically, Sarah has been getting into a lot of mischief lately. I keep waiting for her to blame the dinosaur but she seems pretty serious about letting it go. Honestly, I think she is either going to grow up to be a genius or schizophrenic.
Sincerely,
The Queen of Insanity
