Pretending

MaKena is really getting in to roll playing and pretending. She really likes to pretend to go to sleep with us from time to time. She even pretends to make food and get us drinks and we have to pretend to eat and drink whatever she brings us. She really likes to have her puppies (stuffed animals) eat snack with her. Sometimes she dumps her snacks out on the counter or her blanket and she'll eat them like a dog. It’s pretty funny. I love this age, well for the most part!! Until the meltdowns begin! Lately when we get home from work she'll play in her room and she specifically wants me or Lane to come and play with her. Many times she'll close the door behind us. I don’t know if she thinks she’s locking us in her room with or what but she isn’t happy if we leave! I've become pretty clever when it comes time to leave her room! I don’t want her to become too dependent on someone playing with her all the time but it is fun to sit in her room and watch her play. She likes to sit down and look at her books and sometimes she even “reads” them to her babies or whoever is in the room with her. She is growing up way too fast!!

Lying on the floor with daddy. We were playing puzzles earlier (I'm sure you can tell from the picture!)
Daddy had to kiss an owie!
