Flame's fun day

At naptime and bedtime, I tell Chickie a story about Flame, a fictional orange bear.  Sometimes she even tells the story for me.  Stories about Flame are usually actually stories about Chickie.  By talking about what Flame did all day, we can review how Chickie's day went.

Last night, I said, "There was once a bear named Flame."  I looked at Chickie.  "What did he do?"

The little wheels in Chickie's head began turning as she mentally reviewed her day.  "He went to the library!" she said.

"Oh, how fun," I said with a smile. "What else did Flame do?"

"He went to CBS [CVS Pharmacy] and got pawish [polish] for his toes!"





I started to say somehing about that being fun, but Chickie interrupted excitedly.

"And his fingers!" she added.



"Wow," I said. "It sounds like Flame had a great day."

Chickie smiled and completed the story. 

"I had a great day too!"
