It's been a busy week and a half--visitors, birthday parties, our first kindergarten play date, Tyler's first week back at school (not fun). It was also a very busy week for the Ninas (Ava's dolls). They saw a lot of action that included the first official Nina Time Out (Nina! No!! You get a time out!!).
Ava has always been very good at "independent play". Sophie needs a lot of interaction and wants to chat constantly ("That's funny, right?"). Ava wants to play with her dolls and they are a very active, talkative lot. She's got a routine down that involves banging, a constant dialogue and occasionally some shouting.
Behold...
In other news, Sophie is really loving school. She no longer soils herself (involuntarily or otherwise); she's making friends and she went on her first field trip (to a farm). She is very focused on Halloween and has been a tiny bit preoccupied with pirates.
Behold...
(Sophie, Ava and I are in the car. They're watching The Wiggles.)
Sophie: Mom, are pirates real?
Me: Not exactly. Not like Captain Feathersword (the friendly pirate). Nowadays when people talk about pirates, they mean something different.
Sophie: So they're not real.
Me: Not anymore. But a long time ago there were pirates like Captain Feathersword.
Sophie: Yeah. In Canada.
Argggggh, eh?
