She never ceases to amaze me
I’ve been taking Anna to the toddler story time at the library for several months now. She knows the rhymes and songs and motions very well now. We do them some at home, too. Last night, we were doing a few in her room, and she decided to get her little baby doll and make the doll do everything she would usually do! She was flying her in the air during the Mother Goose rhyme, just like I would fly Anna in the air. She was pointing to her eyes, ears, nose and mouth during the body rhymes, just like I would do with Anna. She even made the doll clap after each little song, just like she does. Everything I do with Anna, Anna was doing with the doll. It was so cool! She’s been doing things like feeding the baby with a bottle or sippy cup for a while, but this is the first time I’ve seen her make the doll represent herself this strongly. Pretty neat!
What a smart lil’ girl! Pictures with her doll? You need to post some videos I say…
You’re right… but video is just hard, partly because I’m not good at it, and partly because Anna knows something’s up, so she stops doing whatever it is she’s doing and comes over to mess with the camera. I just need hidden cameras all around my house!
