I went into Anya's room this afternoon after she'd been napping for about 2 hours. I thought she'd probably wake up, but I really needed to get something. Sure enough, after I'd taken a few steps into the room, she opened her eyes as if she'd been awake all along, and looked at me steadily.
"Hi sweetie," I greeted her. "Did you have a nice sleep?"
She took the dummy out of her mouth and proclaimed, "Steve really likes crocodiles!" while waving her index finger at me.
I don't know how she'll take it when she learns that Steve Irwin isn't with us any more... he's a favorite of hers from Wiggles videos and Bindi Irwin's afternoon show!
As young as she is, the departure of our dear Crocodile Hunter may not even impact her consciousness for years. He's a character on TV, which means he's pretty far removed from being alive or dead to her in any real way.
ReplyDeleteShe's right, though-- Steve really likes crocodiles!
