(Notes from Mama: Lexi, age newly-seven, loves bubbles, painting, puzzles, books and her new dollhouse. She always asks, "Can I play with my dollhouse? Will you share it with me?" before she plays. She loves to sing and dance. She often "teaches" music lessons and dance lessons and all sorts of lessons to her imaginary class. She is a very serious teacher. She loves spaghetti, pancakes with syrup, chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, strawberries, watermelon, kiwi, mango, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and popcorn. She loves peanut butter, ketchup and mayonnaise. She likes squeaky kisses and fast, everywhere kisses, and big hugs--all exclusively from Mama. She is an excellent helper--my very best helper. She loves to wear pretty dresses and to dress up in costumes. When she's nervous, when people are being over-familiar she turns to me, puts up her arms and asks, "Pick up me." This is usually followed by a request to be "Upsidedown!")

Oh....now I'm sad. How I want a little one again! We used to do "McGinnies"; that was THE fun thing with Mama.
I'm holding the child; they are facing me with their legs around my waist. I'd count dramatically, "One, Two, Three....."leave a suspensful pause, "and.....DOWN"... and I lean to the floor, letting their head and body drop (with my cushioning hand on the back of their head, of course, to prevent whiplash!) "goes McGinny to the bottom of the sea......aaaaaaand (up we come) "UP comes McGinny for Nastya and Me!!!" Or Zhenya....
Everyone called for McGinnies until one day I'd find myself wondering WHAT I'd done in the garden, or WHAT I'd been lifting to creat this constant backache, and I'd realize sadly that it was McGinnies.....
I love the interview idea. Did you ever see "Anna" by Nikita Mikhalkov.
big smile!
and, i also LOVE the castle song.

Lexi has great taste! (especially in moms)
Very sweet! She seems so wonderfully attached to you. I am sad that Lexi doesn't have nicer playmates at school.
That is so sweet her favorite thing to do is help you!
I wonder how many of those answers would be the same as yours were :)
Oh, she is so sweet!! Does she want to call you "mummee" now? I think "mama" is so cute.
