elephant

She is especially in love with elephants this past week. It struck me as weird yesterday that she could identify an elephant but not a fox. Mainly because elephants do not live on our continent, and we have never been to the zoo. Then I realized she probably has no idea how big they are either. In her mind an elephant could be the size of our cats. I made this illustration in my journal~ daydreaming about Lili's elephant love...

I hope all Mothers, and Grandmothers, and Mothers-to-be, and anyone who "mothers" in their heart is having a beautiful day, and that you feel tremendously loved and appreciated for all that you are.

For some reason, I can't view the video. Something about it being private...
On the other hand, I do know someone who has a HUGE elephant collection just looking for a home!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I should start sending some down your way :)

Thanks for letting me know that Mom. I keep accidentally setting my videos to private. I took this one off and will try to put it up tomorrow again. Love you! Happy Mother's Day!

Oh, and the thought is sweet, but PLEASE do not send Lilikoi your gigantic elephant collection. I LOVE you.

Maybe we should ask Lili what she would like! Maybe just 10 or 20 or so of them would work?

;)
love you!
