Make - Believe

Lately I've been so excited to find Brynn playing all sorts of make-believe around the house. I'll walk into her room and she's got 2 parties going on... one for the mini princesses/animals at the castle and one for the big animals/dolls around her table. She will move her night stand and doll cradle over to the table so that there's seating for 6. Every animal is sitting at their chair and has a plate, utensil & their "favorite" food in front of them. There's always a pretend birthday cake and I can hear her singing to an animal (depending on who's birthday it is).



I love that she's taken the time to name her little friends and tries to spend equal time with each. There's Washy, Bwinky, Harry, Dolly, Sully, Pink Bear, Lamby, Tula-Rula, Belle, Cat, & Joker. The other afternoon she told me that it is time to go back to school. She lined all of her animals up on the couch and brought down her box of books and started reading to them. She explained that she is the teacher and they need to be really quiet & listen or they will go to "time-out". She then told them that it was "about time" they learned their ABC's and sang the song to them over & over again.



Watching her play like this makes my heart swell & I can't help but smile. She is SO much fun right now. I wish I could record her on video all day so that I could come back and watch it down the road. Why do children have to grow SO FAST?
