Through the eyes of Daphne

With all the new talk around our house Daphne has been listening in on every conversation. She keeps asking Ben, "Why does Mommy have to go see the Huntsman" or all types of questions along that line. The other morning we told her that we wanted to take her to the Huntsman so she could see where Anna was going and will be going . She immediately said "NO" she did not want to go and said that she was scared. We said ok and then later that night Anna was talking to her right before bed and asked her again and got the same response. Anna told her there was nothing to be afraid of and then she said "but mom, the Huntsman was supposed the kill Snow White." Her little mind put Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Huntsman from Snow White together as one in the same. We explained to her that the Huntsman Cancer Institute is where they are going to help Mommy get better from her cancer. She now is willing to go and check things out (as long and no one lives there).

  3. Little imaginations are so funny! I bet she was scarred - I wouldn't want to meet the Huntsman either.

  4. So sweet! That's such a good idea to take her and show her around. I'm glad that she now understands that the Huntsman isn't trying to kill her or Anna for that matter :)

  5. It's nice to have things to laugh about through this, but also makes you realized how easily we can be misunderstood--especially by sweet innocent children. I remember when my son David(about age four at the time) was suppose to be the "ring bearer" after my Sister's Temple Marriage for a ring exchange ceremony. He didn't want to do it because he thought we wanted him to be a "Ring Bear".

  7. Oh sweet little Daph. She is so innocent and precious. I can see how she would conjure that up too. I agree with "Snow queens" comment- it is nice to have these cute stories to laugh and smile about. I love Daphne!!! Give her a big hug for me!
