The Trophy Giver
Charlotte dubbed herself “The Trophy Giver.†She was building with blocks and built a trophy for me. I asked her what it was for and she said it was for “cleaning up.†Then she asked me to make trophies with her. I made a yellow one which she said was for Ila for “wiggling.†A blue and green one was for Isaac for “playing games.†A red one had to be for grandma, even though grandma says her favorite color is blue-green, Charlotte knows it’s really red. She said that Grandma’s trophy was for “doing all the things that she doesâ€. She also said that “when Grandma gets tired of doing all the things that she does then she would have to sleep.†Grandpa’s trophy was for “all the time he is with grandma.†Later she put the trophies for Grandma and Grandpa together and said that the trophy was “for both of them for all the time they spend together. Dad’s trophy was for playing more games than Isaac and she gave herself a trophy for someone who likes pink.
As we skyped she said she would give Aunt Hedi a trophy for something but I can’t remember what it was, I just remember that it was amusing. She thought Aunt Laresa should have a trophy for being good and Aunt Bethani would have a trophy for being happy and having orange hair.
