My youngest niece is still flying on the trapeze and said she loves the bird of paradise this year. Never mind that males are the colorful ones in the birdy-verse, we get to do whatever we want in the art-verse. She’s doing the Chinese Fish Dance in her dance group…and from what I can tell from the always reliable internet, this is one of the traditional gestures… My nephew wanted a dragon Darth Vader, a Giant Japanese Salamander Luke Skywalker, and frog clone warriors…but he forgot I was there when he brought home the huuuuuge tuba he’s going to be playing in band this year. My oldest niece is into dragons, archery & The Hunger Games…she has a black rabbit named Katniss…and she told me her favorite color is the blue of the sky just before dark.
