The stories we tell our children...

Adelle is currently in love with unicorns. We talk about them often and she has many questions about these mythical creatures. Jesse and I have had to make some decisions about the details so that she will have satisfying answers. Here are some facts about unicorns:

1. Unicorns live forever.
2. Unicorns are the only creatures that can walk/dance on rainbows.
3. Unicorns with rainbow colored horns are boys.
4. If you sleep with a toy unicorn wrapped in your arms you will dream about unicorns.
5. Unicorns live in a magical forest and eat magic apples that make them strong and magic carrots that help them see really far. This is important for fighting bad guys.
6. Unicorns are more beautiful than Mommy.

We don't do Santa Claus or the Easter bunny at our house...but if you could see the way Adelle's eyes light up when we talk about unicorns you would understand why we made an exception.

That's so sweet:) We don't do Santa Claus or Easter Bunny either. I don't think Audrey has heard about Unicorns yet. How did Adele become interested in them?

It all started with one TY beanie baby unicorn that we bought her on Catalina Island and she just fell in love with it. Now she has three unicorns.
