Little Violet

Violet's been having a rough couple of weeks at school. There could be many reasons, but I think I've narrowed it down to a combination of a weird, weekly guest speaker in her class who performs with a puppet and a scary and inappropriate story told to her by an older cousin.

Her teacher and I are working on a plan to get her back to her old self, but for now a magic show is a welcome distraction.

I'm told to "convert" my eyes so the trick can be set up.

Then comes the magic words - ABRAY CA DABBY!


And the toy is magically reappeared!

There's even a magic hat, artfully decorated by her big sister Lila.


And rabbits, pulled from within!

She's a keeper, this one.
