As you can probably tell by the last few posts, I’m FASCINATED by little miss THANG’s imaginative play. Really, it’s been a long time coming. She’s never been one to make believe, create scenarios, etc.. But, now, all of a sudden, she’s discovered her imagination, and it’s HILARIOUS….
This afternoon, she spent TWO HOURS (read: BLISS) imaginative playing with her Backyardigans stuffed animals. And, great mother that I am, I snuck up behind her and took a little video. To help you understand what’s going on in the vid, and to guarantee you’ll be a HIT at parties, here are the names of the Backyardigans: Pablo, Uniqua, Austin, Tyrone and Tasha. In this particular session, she’s playing teacher, and it’s diaper-changing AND hello-song time……..Uh huh…. CHECK IT!!!
She caught me at the end there!
What you saw in that video was a little snippet of our afternoon. On the couch. You’d think it was ALL good for me, but Rascal was INCONSOLABLE. Teething. AND the kid has NO CLUE how to play by himself….
It’s 5:45pm now, and she’s playing with them AGAIN. Apparently, we’re having a tea party….
By the way, thanks for the well wishes, Gorgeouses. Like yesterday, I was fine all day and then CRASHED at 3pm with the chills and sniffles…. So, I’m going to bed EARLY tonight. Yes, I’m going to watch my COUSIN MILES kick arse on So You Think You Can Dance Canada, and then LIGHTS OUT!
Ummm, FYI, Tyrone just got a TIME OUT….
Love! xo Haley-O

that video of monkey is so adorable! i love her curls.the past couple of days stinkerbell has been telling me stories that she makes up.so cute!

OMG, that is so cute I can hardly keep from playing it over and over and over. She is absolutely precious!!! Hopefully that cuteness will make up a little bit for the teething woes. It’s funny how kids switch the cuteness back and forth to make the crummy stuff bearable. Hope you are feeling a lot better today, and thanks for sharing your little sweet girl with us.

It wouldn’t play for me so I had to move the dial manually so didn’t get the full enjoyment. But the fact that she’s doing her own thing is great!
Poor Rascal

The monkey is absolutely adorable!!!!
Kristen said, October 30th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
How freakin’ adorable is she?!? Girly wanted to watch Monkey over and over again. As soon as she saw the picture, she thought it was of her, then she said Monkey was her friend.
Hope you are starting to feel better,
hugs!

Don’t you love it when they learn to play by themselves. Lucas plays by himself now too. It’s great!
