Lucy is definitely getting the hang of playing Make Believe. She loves to play with her baby dolls (she calls them all "Baby"- only one has a real name, Mary, but still, she is just "Baby" to Goose). On Sunday evening we were playing in the living room and heard a door slam, Lucy came walking rather deliberately around the corner and announced to Stephen, "Baby's in Time Out." Stephen asked why (with a lot of emphasis like it was a VERY big deal and Lucy responded, "We DON'T hit our friends". Hands on hips. Very serious.
Of course, we were getting into it...."Oh NO, not a good choice, Baby". Then Lucy says "She is just not bein' a good listener." She did go in to to get Baby a bit later they had a little chat- "It's allright, say your sorry, we don't hit our friends, say "Yes, M'am", and all other commands we must rattle off a hundred times a day!
Could very well be that I am just her mom- but it was hysterical. She even told Stephen that Baby hit her in the face and asked him to kiss her check.
Baby returned to Time Out (a stool in the guest room) several times that night and has been there quite a bit this week as well. Let's hope Baby starts being a better listener!!
