Pretend Play

Little Bit is not one to express emotion. She has cried only once in two weeks (because it was bedtime). She has two buttons: Happy and Angry. Both are used regularly. Tonight, she told me that she will "never ever" cry, because only babies who want milk are allowed to do that. Her feelings come out in her pretend play though, so my ears stretch out like an elephant's when she plays alone. Her two toy dogs were having a conversation yesterday. Dog 1 (in a big labrador type voice): You need to go back to your mommy. Dog 2 (in a high squeaky chihuahua voice): I can't. I have to stay here. But I am safe. But I want my mommy. Dog 1: But your mommy wants you back. Dog 2: I know, honey, she just can't have me right now.
