This evening after dinner Ellie had a new twist for one of her favorite games - role playing. Tonights game was Ellie is the Mommy and I am her baby. Ellie has to leave me home so she can go away for a long time on a business trip.
Some highlights from the game included the moments I was pretending to cry when she zoomed off on her train/bike smiling at my sadness. She would return and want to be greated with excitement and hugs to welcome her home.
After a few rounds of the game, she invited Grannie to play the Daddy. While they were "away on their next business trip" Ellie picked two stuffed animals off the shelf and asked Grannie - aka Daddy - to pay for the toys to bring home to the Babies...
This game went on for a good half hour until bedtime. I was a bit awestruck at home much she enjoyed this. I sure hope I have taught her something good about being a mommy - not just that mommies leave their crying babies at home.
