Lego Role Play

Most of the time when we play LEGOS, Eden has me build a "doctor's office"...today after playing doctor she thought of a new idea....

Pooh played by Eden. Piglet played by mom.

Pooh: "Piglet, come in the door."

(Enters Piglet.)

Pooh: "I'm King Pooh sitting on a throne."

Piglet: "Hi King. What would you like me to do for you?"

Pooh: "Go and do as the Lord hath commanded."

Piglet: "Oh, what did he command me to do?"

Pooh: "He commanded you to go clean your room."

Later...

(Piglet enters.)

Piglet: "King, my people need more food. Can you help us?"

Pooh: "Oh yes, I can help you."

Piglet: "Thanks, what should I do?"

Pooh: "Go to Foods Festival (local grocery store here)."

Piglet: "Oh, OK."

Pooh: "And close the door when you leave so flies don't come in."

Flowers

Eden started out being girlie when she went outside and picked a flower to give to me.

I told her that was very nice and got a cup of water to put the flower in.

After seeing the flower and the cup of water, Eden had a better idea.

She decided that the flower would be much better used as a "paintbrush" to paint pretty water pictures on our table.

Walking

Leila now walks more than she crawls.

The only time she crawls is when she really wants to get someplace or to something fast. She knows that crawling is faster than walking.

She often only takes a few steps and falls, then get up again and falls. But she's made it across the living room a few times all by herself.

Looking at My Eye

Eden was looking at the veins in my eyes and said,

"Mom, your eyes have cracks in them..."

Quoting Scripture

Eden loves to pretend to be people. One (at times problematic) person she likes to pretend to be is Jesus.

The other day she said to me,

"Mommy, I'm Jesus and I'm coming to Earth."

(Walks up to me)

"Suffer the little children to come unto me."

She's quoting scriptures better than I can...

Tookus and Tumpkus

Eden has recently named her "children" (they are her Play Doh containers). They are twin boys named Tookus and Tumpkus. She'll play with them like they are her real children.

A part of me says, "She's so creative and imaginative."

Another part of me says, "We need to get out more."

Cinnamon Knot

For those curious, a cinnamon knot is basically a bread stick covered in cinnamon and sugar, then tied in a knot and baked.

On with my story...

We had cinnamon knots the other day. Tyson wasn't feeling too good so we saved his for him. The next day Eden found it...

Eden: "Mommy, can I have the cinnamon knot?"

Mom: "Its dad's, you'd have to ask him."

Dad: "You can have SOME of it."

Mom: "You should ask dad nicely if you can have some of it."

(Eden turns to dad)

Eden: "Dad, can I have so...ALL of your cinnamon knot?"

Sneaky girl. Guess she realized mid-sentence that it was better to start by asking him for ALL of it, just in case. I mean, why settle for less?
