Baby Sister?

Kyla had completed her letter to Santa. I read through it and most of it seemed fairly normal. However, my jaw hit the floor at the line that requested “a baby sister”. I tried to explain that it wasn’t really up to Santa to bring baby sisters and that Mommy wasn’t planning on having another baby anytime soon.

She told me that she’d also be open to adoption.

Remembrance Day

Today Kyla received a current photograph of a family member wearing a military uniform and standing in a large open space.

"I bet that photo was taken in Flanders Field. I wonder if he fought in one of the World Wars..."

If nothing else, this proves she retained something from the Remembrance Day ceremony she had attended only a few days earlier.
