My grandma brought over this idea about a year and a half ago and explained to Elli that when she was young, this is how they would play dolls. They would cut people, pets, furniture, etc out of catalogs and play. Elli enjoyed it then, but now wants to do it all the time. Again, so good for her imagination. It is also something I really enjoy playing with her.
What is a day without a dance party? (or a crazy choice of clothing?) We were "bustin a move" this morning. Yes, Elli is wearing a swim suit and it is about 20 degrees outside, but she never seems to mind:) We had a conversation at the lunch table about how God made male species brighter colors, bigger, louder, etc, from the female species to help them attract a mate. It lead into a discussion about how the female humans are made more beautiful than male humans though. Then, the males spy a female they like and do crazy things to get her to choose him. I told about some of the things Brent did for me and how it worked because I did choose him. She looked at Brent and said, "You are sneaky, daddy:)" A little later, during our dance party, I was doing some classic crazy moves like the "sprinkler". I did the "lawn mower" next and asked Elli what that move was called. She said, "A female move?" We had good laugh at that one! Never dull with that sweetness around:)
