Pretend Play



Hello Ms. Ballerina.

Well Hello Yourself, Mr Rubik's Cube!

Kid A and YaYa seriously played like this for an hour. I love it when they play like this, especially when I get to overhear what they're saying.

(Rubik: "Do you want to watch Cars?"

Flexible Ballerina Girl: "No, not really. There aren't any girls in Cars.")

And it's better than someone "accidentally" getting kicked in the face every two minutes. Wrestling. Ugh. I mean, I guess it's okay. And my hearing went years ago from the shrieking, so that's okay too.

(Things I am loving these days!)

Awww! I miss them and their laughter. I love the way kids play together - they are so fun! Usually!

you're hilarious! i'm not such a fan of wrestling here in our house either...it always goes wrong. oh and the noise that can be created by 5 kids! WOW. I'll take imaginary play anyday! although today they were pirates being eaten by something or other...lets just say it wasn't such a quiet game...although they did take it outside for a while...I even got some jewelry made! miracle!

ahh. that is up there on the list of Very Best Things About Being at Home With Your Kids. I love to hear my kids playing like that. Its all about the little voices they give the characters, too.
Although, i don't know if my kids have ever thought of making the rubics cube into a character.
