For the Nina

Dear Nina,
Remember that time, just a few days ago, I asked you to send me a picture message with your picture? I wanted it to show the Animalia another, newer picture of you, so that she'd be up to date when you visit. I showed it to her the very next day. She said "Nina!" after I said "Nina!" Then I put my phone away. The Animalia waved and said, "Babye, Nina!"

The next day, all on her own, she found my phone and handed it to me. "Nina?" she asked. I found the picture. "Nina!" she said. And then she said, "mmmmmwwwwahhhh!" Again, she said, "Bye Nina," when I put the phone away.

One more day, and she clearly knows who you are. This last time she said, "Nina pretty," and petted your picture when she saw it.

Considering all this, and considering that you were all prettied up to go see Madonna the night you took the picture, you might want to do your hair and makeup before you see Animalia. So that she recognizes you. Just saying.

Love,
The Mama (of Animalia and no one else)
