Madeline doesn't receive mail very often, so it's quite a treat to watch her excited little face when a new edition of one of her magazines arrives. Sometimes she immediately starts "reading" the new magazine to herself, and other times she'll ask Chris or I to sit down and read it to her. She keeps all of the old issues, too. They spent a couple of months in our car, being thumbed through on the often-slow treks into central Bangkok until I became quite tired of reading the one-minute stories about the lives of "Tommy" and "Tess" in Wild Animal Baby over and over again. Now the magazines are kept in a careful stack and carried from one room to another in our apartment.

Now she will have another magazine, Ladybug.
After loads of trouble I found someone in the USA to accept the order and bill Canada but it sounds like it will take months to start. Love Nana
