Princess!

I have to tell you my little girl is so grown up all of a sudden! I mean, she speaks as well as my 5 year old so I forget sometimes that she's just now two. She's so prissy and dainty, yet at the same time rough and rowdy! I love watching her play pretend. I honestly don't remember Tink playing pretend this early. Tonight as we were getting ready to settle down for bed I had Prince and Tink clean up their rooms. Princess usually joins them (and makes a mess while doing it!). Tonight she found these two little bitty babies from somewhere in Tink's closet. The babies were maybe an inch long. One boy, and one girl. They had a little bottle as well. A blue bottle for the boy and a pink bottle for the girl. Well, as we were getting ready to say "goodnight" I started looking for Princess. Anytime she's quiet I get scared, she's usually up to no good!;) I found her sitting at one of the kids folding tables in the schoolroom. She had three chairs around it. At one chair she had that little bitty pink baby, with the pink bottle, and a plate of play food from the play kitchen for the baby. The blue baby, with the blue bottle was sitting at another chair with another plate of food by him. And Princess was sitting at the third chair with her milk cup (that she went and got out of the refrigerator) and her own plate of play food. She was so proud of herself when I walked into the room. She said, "babies are hungry". I called Tink and Prince in to see what she'd done. We were so proud of her. When I said it was time to go to bed she started to get upset. I quickly pulled two baby beds out of the doll house box (one blue and one pink...yet these weren't the babies from this doll house)and told her that the babies could go to bed with her. This satisfied her and she kissed Prince, Tink, and Lucy (the dog) and went to get in bed. She wouldn't let me put the babies on the dresser or the bench by her bed. They had to be in the bed with her. And before I turned out the lights she gave each baby a little drink from their bottle and then she fed them pretend food from her hand. I am still amazed! She turned two less than a week ago and she's already so grown up...playing pretend by herself?? Wow! Maybe our entire two year old year will be so wonderful! ;)
