bedtime story

the other night i was nursing bohdan in his room while ted put the girls down for bed. we have a routine of a bedtime story, prayer and a song. ella asked daddy to tell them a "story from [his]head". ted asked "what kind of story" and ella replied, "a princess story!" then ted suggested a princess story with spaceships. and both girls agreed. so ted began the story of princess elayna. i couldn't catch all the details, but basically she is a princess from another planet with 3 arms and 3 legs...this is what happens when your sci-fi loving techy engineer daddy tells you a story "from his head"!
