In her imagination
Little is at that age where the imagination begins to blossom. You never know what she’ll say when a conversation begins. A couple of recent examples:
A few weeks ago she was telling me about a dog that lives in Boo’s room. It is little and white and fluffy and likes to sleep in Boo’s bed. As she was telling me this, she said, “Oh no!” I asked what she was oh-no-ing about and she said, “Doggie get out of Boo’s room. Get back, doggie!”
Then today her best friend D was here and they were playing and having a great time together. At one point they were getting ready to “go” (putting on shoes, gathering bags, etc) and I heard them talking about going to the grocery store and about going to work. Later this afternoon, Little put on her “troc” shoes and threw her bag on her shoulder. This conversation followed:
Little: “Bye, Mommy.”
Me: “Where are you going?”
Little: “To the grocery store.”
Me: “What are you getting at the grocery store?”
Little: “Tacdos. Tacdos for Mommy and Daddy and me.”
Me: “Yummy. I like tacos.”
Little: “Mommy and Boo stay here.”
Me: “Okay, we’ll stay right here.”
Little: “Have a good day.”
There are so many times these days that she makes me laugh out loud. It is fun to see what she comes up with while she is playing.
I love it!
They are so much fun at that age!
I agree that it is so fun to watch them pretend. My son didn’t do that much (he is very literal), so it has been extra fun to hear the things that come out of my daughter’s mouth!
Just you wait – it gets funnier!
HYSTERICAL!
So cute! I just love all the little things they come up with, those little port windows into how their minds and imaginations work!
Thanks for your comment over at my place—yea, 3 of 8 may definitely see some advantages from having lived with all these girls!
Blessings!
