Reese always loves to pretend. She will be animals and princess's mostly but is in full pretend mode most of the time. We went to see Tangled and as soon as she got home she tore her room apart looking for something that (to her) looked like Rapunzel's dress. She came out with a light pink and purple pj set and found a pizza pan (plastic from her kitchen set) and was trying to hit us (again pretending) with it all day. She was mostly after poor Daddy since Rapunzel was hitting her prince, as Reese would say. We finally had to take it from her for safety reasons. HA!
We watched The Grinch on TV the other day. I thought it was a cute movie and some of the not-so-nice language went over their heads. But Reese clearly did not get the theme of the movie, you know, how the Grinch's heart grew three sizes and how he saved Christmas. Well, my sweet pretending daughter decided to BE the Grinch. I should of taken a picture because the faces she was making (thank you Jim Cary) were priceless. But what wasn't was when she got a bunch of toys and put them on our ottoman and started screaming "I hate Christmas" all while throwing toys. We had a nice long chat after that and so far the Grinch hasn't come back! We won't be watching that one again-for a long long time, if ever!
Then we have talked A LOT about what Christmas is REALLY about and I'm proud to say that Reese will say Jesus birthday! She got a small basket, laid a red strawberry shortcake wig inside and found a tiny (and scary real-like) baby to lay inside. It was rather odd looking at first but then I realized that the wig was the straw...great imagination! But the best part was when she put a tutu on and found some long purple beads that wrapped around her arms funny. When she opened them she said it was her angel wings. She danced around her baby Jesus for a while. I'm sad I didn't get the camera out for that one!
