I love the idea of having small children "write" stories! Perhaps you should write down what Gabi "dictates" to you and then have the two of you engage in "editing sessions" until the stories are "just right". I do not underestimate the power of small children's ideas! Please consider: * A three-year-old girl got her inventor father (named Edwin Land) to consider the possibility of instant photography. The rest, of course, is history: Such photo taking eventually became part of many Americans' lives. For more information, please refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Land (especially the second paragraph in the "Land's company" section) * A four-year-old girl was instrumental in the founding of an organization that raises money for pediatric cancer treatment. For more details, please refer to: www.alexslemonade.org Love, Joe I think Marie is on the right track. I love the idea of having small children “write” stories!

She sounds like Coby & Tate. They always ask for a "make- up story" (not the book kind) and let us know who the characters should be.--- usually a lion, a truck driver, pirate, cheetah. Or they ask for a "Sophie story"; I had a continuing "saga" about a guardian angel named Sophie who appeared as a 4 year old girl and befriended Coby & Tate. I ran out of creative juice though, so Daddy takes over the "make- up" stories these days. Hee hee! She sounds like Coby & Tate.
