Role Play

The girls were doing a little role playing today. Carly was Mom sweeping the kitchen. Chloe was Dad. Chloe, "Dad," walks in the kitchen and says, "Do you need any help Mom?" Mom replies, "No, but you can change Finley." Dad said, "Ok!" And he proceeded to get Finley and wrapped her up in a blanket.

Then "Mom" said she needed to change Finley too - because we both do that!

I had some brownie treats for them and Carly, " Mom," had to hand them out because "only Mom feeds us."

So funny! I like seeing how we are perceived through our children's eyes. It is a good check for them to do a little role playing every once in a while so you know if you need to change your tone towards anything! These children are truely little sponges and watch every move we make.

Side Story: The girls are really into princesses now. They know all the Disney princesses, but have never seen a movie or anything, just products in the store. I decided that a sing-a-long movie would be a safe bet to the whole princess thing! They were watching it this morning and discussing what was going on. All the princes were Dads. The beast - Belle's Dad, Aladin - Jasmine's Dad, etc. That just shows who their true love really is!! They just see the body language and all the hugging and they know that is what a Daddy is for! So innocent - I love it!
