One day Anni was twirling and singing one of her original compositions.
"It's my gift!" she declared.
Dizzy, she fell with spectacular gracelessness.
Laying on her back on the tile floor she began flapping her arms and legs
as if she were making a snow angel.
"Falling down is also a gift!" says she.

More everyday from Annika

Anni has come up with yet another new nickname for Frankie. That girl loves coming up with nicknames more than G.W. Bush does. So her latest for Frankie, is "Frank-o" or, sometimes, "Frank-o Bank-o." To date, her original nicknames have been "Frank", "Francie", and "Frank-o." She also calls her "Frankster" pretty often, but she did get that one from us! Anni has taken to making up her own songs to express herself during the day. She's written a "Stop crying, baby" song and an "I don't want to play" song and a "I DO want to play" song. Yesterday she was singing a song evidently titled, "I'm gonna save the world." I didn't catch all the lyrics, but it did somehow involve squirrels in a cave.
