Deer Elsa,
It was warm out side agen so mama let me play in the gardin. I was gonna clime our favrit tree but nanny came out with me so i coodnt. She never lets me do any thing fun. I tried splashing in the pond when she wasnt looking but she caught me any way. She sed the waters to cold yet and she didnt want me to get sick. So i pickd sum flowers insted. I didnt find many but thats okay. I gave them to mama for a serprise. She as so happy. She sed shell keep them for ever.
Luv,
Anna
Dear Anna,
I'm glad you had fun outside today, even with Nanny Hanne out there with you. (You're right, she's not very fun.) It's too bad you didn't find many flowers, but I'm sure Mama appreciated them all the same. She hasn't been very happy lately and I think I know why. It's because of me.
My magic is still growing. Most days, I can feel it prickling just under my skin, fighting to get out. It's all I can do to keep it inside. Papa says I'm not trying hard enough. But I try my best. I don't know how much more I can try or what more I can do.
Love,
Elsa
Next up: Summer and Anna's eighth birthday.
