“Are we ready to go? Put your seat belt on!” This was Luma, our almost three-year-old, barking orders to our nanny, Marilyn just moments ago. It sounded like the two of them were rushing to a wedding. Marilyn was the bus driver, and Luma, was the bride. Of the many things this kind and consistent woman does for Luma, it’s the hours that she spends in her make believe world that I may appreciate most. Her patience for such games, and the conversations that ensue, is amazing. It’s Luma’s imagination that Marilyn follows, and off they go wherever her little mind takes them. What a gift. (For pretty dresses for girls with colourful imaginations, have a look at Nellystella.)
