Playing Pretend: Birthday Party!


While Sophie was sleeping, and before we even got dressed for the day, we played "Birthday Party!"  I wanted to test whether Lucy would be ready to play "pretend".  So I set out a plastic table cloth on the floor, got out balloons and party hats, and her wooden birthday cake set and tea party cups.  She LOVED it!  She was totally into it. Before I even finished blowing up a balloon, she had dubbed the event "Birthday Party" which she kept saying in a high-pitched falsetto voice.  She then continued to sing Happy Birthday and kept blowing out the candles. I put water in the tea cups and snuck little snacks in the dish when she wasn't looking...raisins, M&Ms (her favorite), and goldfish crackers.  We even had guests!  Baby Belle, Tinkerbell, and dinosaurs.  We eventually ended up playing "Barbie" of sorts, using Tinkerbell and her other fairy friend.  They would ride dinosaurs and have their own birthday parties.
