Emily amazes me sometimes. She LOVES to just be by herself sometimes and play. Lately she has been taking all her babies and singing to them one at a time and then putting them down for a nap. She goes all over the house in search of anything that will work as "covers". She uses dish cloths, lap pads, burp cloths, blankets . . . and my favorite, her oven mit for her kitchen (if you look closely the 3rd animal to the left has her oven mit):
The other day I came downstairs and she had taken all her princess dolls and covered them with some piano sheets she found in the piano chair:
I LOVE her imagination! She is so fun to watch. Speaking of princess dolls, her collection of dolls has come from gifts, but also from her earning stars for various things. Right now she is earning stars for staying in her bed until morning time. This girl was making us weary with her random times that she was coming to our room to crawl into our bed. . . sometimes it was 3:30 sometimes 4:00. Mostly she would make it to 5:30 to come to our bed. So I put a clock in her room and taught her to only look at the hour number. She isn't allowed to come to our room in the morning until it has a 6 or 7 on it. She has been doing much better. The other morning I heard her come to our room at 5:30 . . . but she looked at my clock and then went and got back in bed without saying anything so I was proud of her! Sometimes having a child that's not in a baby bed is worse than having a newborn waking you up to eat! This mama needs her sleep!

That is the way you used to play with your babies. When I would be folding clothes you would get all the bath cloths and line your babies up and talk to them and go on to the other one.
