How Old Are You?

We've had a few phone calls lately where someone would like to talk to Zarina. Normally she's fine with this, I turn on the speaker phone and she listens, occasionally attempts to speak and gives a few kisses. This week, instead of embracing the phone she runs away and in a sad, close to tears, voice she'll say, "I can't do it, I can't do it." What a booger.

Brien's been in Nebraska this week for a training. I put Zarina down for bed the other night and as I walked from the room I again said, "I love you Zarina," she replied, "I love my dad." It was also sad the next morning when she got up, gave me a hug and asked, "Where's my dad?"

I was watching part of Deadliest Catch with Zarina. One of the boats (Time Bandit?) had a skull and crossbones on the front of it. Z saw it and excitedly said, "It's a pirate boat!" It took a few minutes, but I think I convinced her that they weren't pirates, but fishermen looking for crab. She was very interested in the crabs.
