Fove

Charlotte is running around lately playing pretend sleeping. At home at various times throughout the day she will say "fo-vah?" which is her version of "sove" which is Norwegian for "sleep." She burrows into the couch cushions and asks for a pillow (pee-yo) or tugs a blanket to cover part of her. Or she pats on the couch cushion and looks at me and says "Mamma..." "fo-vah?" and guides me down to the couch where I am to close my eyes and wear a pillow on my back. She puts her dolls to sleep, her stuffed animals, her little newborn cousin Mikkel, us... anything that looks somewhat living. And in the car sometimes, she closes her eyes and squints and "takes a nap."
