Maya the Storyteller

About a month ago: 
Maya:  Mom, when you were upstairs, I saw this lizard climb our window all the way to the top. 
Mom:  Wow, is he still up there? 
Maya:  No, actually he fell and hurt his toe.  But then he sat down, took a piece of grass, wrapped his toe with it and was OK.

Yesterday:
My friend Mia got stung by a bee at school the other day.  She was hurting, so a butterfly came, kissed her on her cheek and gave her a band aid. 

Also....
After Maya finished her first year of preschool a couple of months ago, we got her teacher's report with Maya's developmental changes within that year.  One of the things that Maya excelled in, according to her teacher, was storytelling.  And, there was a note from the teacher in parenthesis:  (the Disneyland story).  Curious, I approached the teacher to ask about it, to which she replied that she specifically liked Maya's story of how we took her to Disneyland, and how much fun she had there.  She added that she was very sorry to hear about how Maya bruised her knee when she tripped and fell there. 
The thing is...  we've never been to Disneyland...

That is so cute!!!
I think storytelling and creativity goes with the name ;-)
We have so many stories that our Maya has written since she got into writing :-)
The best, most recent one is from our trip to CA this summer. About a little stuffed toy-fish she got there. Who, according to Maya is the first fish ever to die from chicken pox :-)
