Marlena the Pirate... Aaaargh!

One of Marlena's favorite books is called "How I Became a Pirate". It's about a little boy called Jeremy Jacob who is carried off by pirates. At first pirate life is good, but then he discovers pirates don't tuck little boys into bed and there are no books, so Jeremy returns home and helps the pirates bury their treasure in his backyard.

From this book, Marlena has learned to say "Aaaargh", and "Scury Dog" and "Shiver me timbers". The other day, we put a scarf over her head and showed her a picture of Jeremy Jacob with his pirate scarf on, and Marlena spent the morning as a pirate. Oma took her to the library to play on the computers and Marlena kept her pirate scarf on all morning. And, before she set out, I had to take some pictures!
