More than anything in the world my Kamdyn wants to be a "dolphin helper". She eats, sleeps, dreams, thinks of little else. Currently she owns about 20 small plastic dolphins of various shapes, quality and sizes. There is no special favorite;all are equally important in her eyes. There are mommy and daddy dolphins and cousins, aunts, uncles, nannies, grandma's and grandpa dolphins. Sea World was just for her birthday because she desperately wants to communicate with a dolphin. I've really never seen anyone so fixated on one thing. Last night we watched and IMAX special on dolphins and one special dolphin named JoJo and his "keeper" Dean. They live in the Turks and Caicos Islands. http://www.oceania.org.au/soundnet/features/jojo.html
No joke, that show has been on all day! She know can tell the difference between dusky Argentina dolphins, pink fresh-water river dolphins, Atlantic Bottle nose and so on... If this were a passing fancy I probably wouldn't be telling you about it but this obsession started over a year ago when she was only 2!
I made this picture for her in Photoshop so that she could actually pretend she swims with Jojo herself. It is her most important treasure and has been printed over 20 times.
Maybe someday her dream will come true. Ithink they are neat too; not like she does but maybe I'll get to touch one too.

I loved getting to catch up with you a little bit on Saturday afternoon. Looks like the Sea World trip was a big hit with everyone. We are thinking of taking Sam & Seth there next year for a weekend getaway!
