The last few days I've noticed a pattern with Lauren and her toys. They keep getting in trouble! Let me preface by stating that L. is a pretty good little girl and doesn't really get into trouble THAT often. But for some reason she seems to be amused by disciplining her toys. (?)
She came down from her nap the other day to inform us that her (stuffed) dog had gotten on her bed and wasn't supposed to so it got in trouble and that he needed to go potty in the toilet. She went off to Jon and I for literally another five minutes, in a very motherly tone, about this dog's behavior and what he shouldn't be doing and was.
Then tonight she kept battling with her stuffed Bugs and a four-armed clear plastic muscle man, both fast food toys. Poor Bugs Bunny was getting hammered by this atrocious plastic monster. At first I observed and L. would reprimand, "No No! We don't hit!" Then she would include me by coming to tattle on the plastic man (tattling is a new favorite habit). I finally asked her if she thought the muscle man needed to stand in the corner. The next thing I see is this five inch toy standing in the corner - again, and again. Then he had to go back into "The Fish" (their mesh fish toy box), he was there until he decided to stop crying. Well, I guess he stopped because out of the corner of my eye I see both toys in L.'s hands with the plastic muscle man once again pounding on poor Bugs.
Inside I was laughing, but now that I think about it...should I be worried?

Daddy's princess on her pony.
Gingerbread House
The kids put this together in Bear Lake for the Jenkins Annual Snowmobile trip. Our poor kids...when we unloaded the car of our suitcases Lauren asked,"Do we live HERE now?"
Where's the fire?
Jon's dad tried to change the fire alarm but with it linked to the security system the fire department was automatically contacted. So after five minutes of obnoxiously loud alarms going off the truck showed up. Oops
Date with Daddy!
Jon took Lauren to Hollywood Connection for some one on one time together. It was a hit. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDSOME
September 17th 1978
2/27/08 Lately L. has been insisting that I call her Cinderella. Sometimes I can hear her upstairs call for CINDERELLA. in a mean "step sister" tone, then in a sweet voice will answer, "I'm coming." She failed to pick up her toys when I asked, so I tried her new name and it worked wonders.
2/29/08 So L. is watching her old favorite and after Dory explains to Marlon that memory loss runs in her family, Lauren says, "It runs in my family too, Dory."

Story came to play
These three happy girls just finished spinning in Daddy's chair. What kid doesn't LOVE that? When Story's mom came to pick her up she gave me the door prize she'd won. It was a full hour massage at a spa in town. It was HEAVENLY! Thanks Brooke.

Sunday doesn't come fast enough for L. to go with her teacher to Nursery. She will scout her out in S.M. and wave to her the rest of the meeting. She loves her.

Oh my word - that is HILARIOUS! I am cracking up here because I can totally hear you explaining it. Too funny! Looks like you have a great babysitter on your hands! :)
LOL! Hey, as long as Plastic Muscle Man is the one being mischievious, and now Lauren, I think you're doing super! ;)
darn typo! ... it should read, "and NOT Lauren" :P
Oh, how I miss her when you tell stories about her doing this and that. This was is classic!!! I laughed right out loud!
Don't worry about her, just use it as a new form of entertainment for you. And if she is busy disciplining her toys, she less likely to get into trouble!
I just read this to mom and she said it's child self-therapy!
:0) I love her. Sheena (Ellinger) says her little girl is doing the same thing, they had toys in the corner too. She is wondering if she should be worried too :)
This just made me LAUGH. I can just picture her doing this! I miss you all.....
I wouldn't worry at all. At first when my kids did this I worried that they were mimicking me. They were but, luckily they were adding more drama. I think that's really all it is, make believe.
