Role playing

Millie has really been doing a lot of role playing lately. Last week, I was really tired so I was lying in the bed. Well, she came in and said that she was the Mommy and that I was the "Baby Girl." And then Jacade came in and he was now the "Baby Boy."

She went out of the room and picked up a few books and brought them back. She was going to put "her babies" to bed. She read us a few books and would pause and say, "Are you okay, Baby Girl?" or "I love you Baby Girl." So sweet.

Then Jacade aka Baby Boy started tickling her. And she told him to stop. And he kept tickling her. And she said, "If you don't stop, you're going to get a spanking." And he didn't stop. And then she said, "You're not going to get to sleep with Baby Girl unless you stop." He asked where he would have to sleep and she replied, "In my room."

She's also been playing Mommy with Mawt Maw too and bossing her around. She's just repeating what she hears, I guess.

I've read that it's good for preschoolers to role play. I guess she's right on target!
