Josefina keeps trying to get me to play, so I said, "Do you want to write the blog tonight?"
And she said, "Yes" and started for the keyboard. I said, "No typing. You can tell me what to write." So Josefina spoke and I wrote down what she said. I also asked her a few questions. This is a transcription of our conversation, with a few parenthetical explanations added. She also selected these pictures. Remember, she is speaking to you, dear readers! :-)
What would you like to say to everyone, Josefina?
"I'm Josefina Janaro. Don't forget that I live in Virginia. I'll tell you about Nana and Grampa's house. We went swimming. I'll tell you about school: I love painting and clay. I love working a lot. We have a garden to pray in. Do you know that I am a little kid? I cut paper a lot."
What do you like to wear?
"I like to wear dresses, pants, and shorts. My favorite kind of dresses are long dresses cause they make me warm."
What are your favorite colors?
"Purple, pink, and yellow, green, red, and that's all."
What is your favorite thing to do?
What do you like to read? [by this I mean "what do Josefina and Daddy read together?"]
"I like to read ...um...um... I'll get the books... [she brings over "Corderoy and Company"]
Oh there's more! What else? What do we read?
Ummm...Mr. Putter, Henry and Mudge, Bread and Jam for Francis. [And many other books that she just can't remember right now.]
Thank you Josefina for talking to us. Any final words?
"Hello. Do you work on computers? Do you do a lot of work?"
Josefina wants to know if you are like her Daddy, i.e. Do you work on computers a lot? Daddy works on computers a lot. But she's been very patient. Daddy is going to stop working and go play with her. Goodbye!
