Do they like to jump anywhere ? Or do they prefer trampolines and inflatable castles ? Do they jump anywhere ? Tell me your story, here is mine...

The dragon had been chasing the Little Girl. The dragon had the Little Girl for three times in it's big mouth. But the Little Girl managed to get out. She always jumped in the right moment just as the dragon opened the mouth to start chewing.
This time was no different. The dragon flew over the Little Girl and caught her with it's big mouth wide open. the Little Girl jumped out again through the space between two big teeth.
And jumped into the air.

The Little Girl landed on some soft leaves, and she continued jumping from leaf to leaf using the lift off of the leaf. And there goes the Little Girl, another jump.
The dragon was confused and flying left and right, up and down, he could not catch the Little Girl. The Little Girl jumped from giant leaf to giant leaf.
The leaves came close to a waterfall, and the Little Girl jumped right into the waterfall.
The dragon flew by one time and did not see the Little Girl hidden in the waterfall.
The dragon flew by two times and did not see the Little Girl.
The dragon flew by three times and did not see the Little Girl. The dragon flew away.
The Little Girl jumped once more from the waterfall onto the leaves. With each jump the Little Girl jumped higher and higher.
She jumped all the way home, and told Papi the story of the hungry dragon.

Bowling Alley

Do you take your kids to the bowling alley ? Do they like it ? Do you go because you like it ? Who has the idea to go there ? Can the kids through the ball all the way ? Do you use the supporting guiding lanes ? How do they deal with the weight of the balls ? Do you teach them the moves ? Do you know the moves to teach them ? Tell me your story, here is mine...

The blue ball was sleeping in the rack. The blue ball was not woken up usually. Some days the blue ball would not even exit once of the ball rack. The grownups never asked the blue ball to play. And the blue ball did not mind. After all, the blue ball only liked little children to play.
But today was a special day. The blue ball saw the Little Girl in a red dress approaching. The Little Girl looked at the blue ball, and picked up the blue ball.

Children never asked the ball to play. They just came and grab the balls and on they went to the bowling lanes. And the balls did not care, after all the play of the kids was always so much fun. The kids were happy if the balls made it all the way to the pins. The kids were happy if just one pin came down.
The blue ball liked the way the kids play. The kids always happy.
The blue ball was picked up by the Little Girl.
The Little Girl cleaned the blue ball with the bottom of the dress.
"Hello blue ball, you are clean now, you are going to fly to the pins, okay blue ball ?", said the Little Girl.
The Little Girl held tightly the blue ball with both hands, This was another thing the blue ball liked kids, they never placed their fingers in the holes. The kids did not know how to use the holes and did not mind with it.
"Go, go it the pins!", said the Little Girl to the blue ball throwing it along the lane.
The blue ball was happy to have the attention of the Little Girl. The blue ball called all the strength it had and rolled to the pins. The blue ball rolled and rolled and rolled. At the end of the lane, the blue ball took down 3 pins. Just before exiting the lane, the blue ball looked back and saw the Little Girl jumping in happiness.
When the blue ball came back to the beginning of the lane, the blue ball could still see the Little Girl jumping around happy.
"I did it, I did it Papi!", said the Little Girl.
"Next time I need to help the Little Girl hit the 10 pins!", thought the blue ball.

The neighbor was walking his dog, and the dog was excited to see the postman. The neighbor had to hold the leech with a lot of strength. The dog seamed to be ready to jump at any moment in the direction of the postman.

Suddenly the leech snapped and the dog broke loose. It started barking widely at the postman. The postman got afraid and ran into the house to deliver the package, but dropped the package while he ran. But the postman was not safe.

Swimming Pool day

Do you take your kids swimming ? Do they still need floaters ? Do they want to use the floaters ? Are your kids afraid of the water ? Did you experience the floaters not fitting and the kids still can't swim without them ? Do you take them to the sea, lake or swimming pool ? Do you and your kids like water parks? Tell me your story, here is mine...

The Little Girl put on her favorite red swimsuit. 
"Papi, where are the floaters ?", asked the Little Girl.
"I think I forgot the floaters at home Little Girl", answered Papi.
"No problem, we swim without floaters then", said the Little Girl.
The Little Girl approached the border of the swimming pool. A lot of magical things happened in the swimming pool. The Little Girl entered carefully, it was her first time without the floaters. Papi followed her into the swimming pool.

The Little Girl tried to swim and saw the water cover her completely.
The arms of Peter Pan caught her and saved her from the crocodile. A crocodile was approaching the Little Girl. Peter Pan called for Tinkerbell. "Tinkerbell, come here!", shouted Peter Pan.
The Little Girl could see the brilliant light flying around them. The light approached, it was Tinkerbell the fairy. Peter pan caught Tinkerbell and shook the little fairy above the Little Girl's head.
The Little Girl now wasn't afraid of the water. She could fly above the water. The Little Girl gave a big stroke with her small arms and moved forward. the crocodile got very frustrated, it could not catch the Little Girl.
"Hello Mr. Crocodile, I am here!", the Little Girl taunted the crocodile.
The crocodile tried to approach, but the Little Girl was to fast for it. the Little Girl swam with great speed leaving ripples of water behind her. And the poor crocodile could only catch the small waves the Little Girl made.
But the magic dust finished very fast. the water washed the magic dust from the Little Girl. The Little Girl could not swim so fast now, and the crocodile was opening the mouth to eat her. The Little Girl felt the over go over her body and felt her arm being held strongly.
Papi grabbed the Little Girl by the arm and pulled her out of the water. The Little Girl did not see Peter pan, or Tinkerbell, or the crocodile.
The Little Girl could see Papi that gently held her so she could swim without the floaters.

Coffee for Papi

Did you teach your kids how to operate the coffee machine ? Did they learn ? Did they want to learn ? Do they like making coffee for you ? Do you enjoy that peaceful moment you are waiting for your kids to bring you coffee ? Or are you nervous that something will happen to them ? Or are you concerned that something may happen to the coffee machine ? Does the quality come with the expected coffee ? Do they look happy to do something for you when they come carefully balancing the cup of coffee on the saucer ? Tell me your story, here is mine...

Papi finished lunch. The Little Girl wanted to make something good for Papi.
"Mami, can I make coffee for Papi ?", asked the Little Girl.
"Do you know how to use the coffee machine ?", asked Mami.
"Yes, Papi told me!", answered the Little Girl.

The Little Girl got a cup, put at the machine, and pressed the button.
There came the coffee pouring into the cup.
The Little Girl balanced the coffee cup all the way from the kitchen to the living room. She went slowly, she did not want to spill the coffee. She wanted Papi to feel good about her. There she went, balancing the coffee cup until she got to Papi.
"Papi, here is a coffee for you!", the Little Girl handed proudly the coffee cup to Papi.
Papi tasted it and make a horrible face... it looked like Papi did not like the coffee.
But Papi said, "Thank You, it was very good, but let me tell you a secret Little Girl, come with Papi to the kitchen!".
Papi took the Little Girl to the kitchen. "Look", said Papi, "next time put this capsule in the coffee machine, it makes the coffee so much better, and I know you do it better than anyone else Little Girl!".
After dinner Papi said, "Hum, I am going to sit at the sofa, it would be so nice if I had somebody bring me a coffee."
The Little Girl heard Papi. She went to the kitchen, got a cup and put it at the machine, got a capsule that Papi like and put it into the machine, and then pressed the button for the coffee. The coffee poured into the coffee cup, this time a bit darker, it smelled like Papi's coffee.
With great care, the Little Girl brought the coffee cup to Papi in the living room.
Papi sipped the coffee and said, "Ah! this is so good, thank you Little Girl!"
