Pippi Longstocking is awesome for boys and girls. Sekani and his cousin, Essau, love Pippi. They want to be her brothers and live with her. I forgot that she has superhuman strength and lives a wonderfully wacky life. Also, I was proud to show Sekani a character created by a Swedish woman, part of his heritage. Long live Pippi.
Thank you everyone for the thoughtful gifts. They have come at the right time since Sekani has dropped his nap and can now have "quiet time" with the new slew of toys. I'd like to point out the handmade peg board from Lucas. Brilliant. Sekani waits so patiently for me until I'm done playing with it.
