My poor, poor cousins. Their 3-year old daughter, Neko, has the exact same dietary habits as me.
As for me, I'm still working out how to deal with kids. Neko wedged herself in between me and my aunt at mass last night, and held my hand and fidgeted with my braids and rings. I let her do this, and later on, showed her how to brush her barbie doll's hair from the ends first. (I hate watching people wrench a brush through their hair. If I can knock this out at a young age, then great.)
I hear she got a doll with long braids for Christmas, and named it after me. :-D

And Shay, their other daughter, still has the Totoro I had kaerfel knit for her. It's named Flower, and is still her favorite toy. My Christmas present from Shay was a shrinkydink ornament with Flower painted on it. I just hope that when Shay's old enough for kaerfel's books, she'll like them and be able to impress her friends with her toy made by everyone's favorite author. Assuming that at adolescence, she wouldn't be embarrassed of toting around a Totoro named Flower. :-)
