Toddler Shenanigans

Yesterday Delia fell and hit her face on a little table. She wanted to nurse, so I let her. Elsie immediately wanted to as well, but I declined. My general rule these days is if we nursing for a hurt, I only nurse the injured party.

So then, Elsie went over to the table, and very gently touched her head to the table a couple times. Then uttered a big fake cry, and hurried over to me saying "Mokie! Mokie!". Points for creativity, and acting skills taboot! I succumbed.

The following scene I happened upon a few days ago. E & D were playing very quietly together over in the corner, with some of the dollhouse stuff. They had the oven and stove part from the kitchen set, and a teeny tiny little pot, which lately has been forbidden for them since they always put it in their mouths (and have bitten the handles off several of them!). It was out though, and they were having a great time opening and closing the oven door and putting the pot in and out. They were totally doing it together and so pleased with it. When I "caught" them, Delia totally gave me this look of guilty glee (because they aren’t supposed to be playing with those tiny pieces) and I had to take some pics.
