When Madeline had just turned two she knew many of the pages by heart and hearing a 2 year old 'read' Falconer's words is precious. To continue the theme, Madeline got this for Christmas from my parents.
For the first time she will play alone without trying to engage me. Because of the very small pieces (much too small for Lydia) Madeline plays with this house/pirate ship at the dining room table and she will play, alone, for 20 or 30 minutes at a time.
Although she has a lot of fun playing with it I really think I have more fun listening to her imagination at work.
On this particular day, Olivia was having chicken for dinner in her bedroom because her mother had sent her out of the kitchen for being a wild animal.
I just don't have the heart to tell her that serving a whole parrot isn't really that appetizing.

Devon and I love that book. He loves the "time out" part after she paints a Jackson Polluck on the wall at home. I love the part where she is building sandcastles.
We just have the opposites book and Xan still picks it out to read. I'll have to look into the other books for him at the library.
How wonderful! I love that Olivia was a wild animal. And have you ever eaten a whole parrot? You never know!
I'm glad she's having fun with it! She's getting so big. :)
