Alexa the Magician (from Germany)

Alexa kept talking to us about being a magician and we couldn't figure out where this 'new' obsession was coming from...and then one day we were dropping her off at school and saw a picture in the local newspaper...our littler girl was the magicians helper at a school show!  Abracadabra zim zala bim!!!
We then started playing with her and every time she would say abracadabra we would move something around and she was completely convinced her magic was doing it.  It was HYSTERICAL! She was squealing with delight at all the magic she had done!!
