I'm not sure. We've told her from the beginning that it's where she's from. Recently, she's been asking for the story of how she was born and became our daughter as a bedtime story (we've told it to her before as well, but it really seems to have clicked with her lately). She also sometimes asks for the story of how I was born. I don't now why she hasn't asked for Cathy's origin story as much. She plays favorites, I guess.
Part of it might just be that she's frustrated in so many ways in the present. She can't do all the things she wants to do. She can't find friends to play with (I'd call this Reason #1) -- they're all busy or not at home. Her school friends live in other towns, because we chose a preschool that was sort of on the way to Cathy's work.
Other parts of her heritage, she's not all that interested in. She'll sit for a little while, then the five-year-old's attention span kicks in.
