This afternoon a little past 4:00 es asked if I would take her to the park. I said I didn't have time because I would be going home soon. She replied that she would ask her dad, which she did when K came in at 4:30 to relieve me. (E and ec were in the city to visit an old friend.). He said yes, then backtracked because E had left pot roast cooking in the crockpot and he didn't want to go too far from the house. He suggested they just take a short walk, and she agreed, but said the whole family could go another day. I wish I had made note of the exact sequence of her dialogue. It really did sound like she was organizing her arguments before a judge!
We spent quite a bit of time today acting out stories. For instance, she had me be the BBW knocking on the serious piggy's door, then when I couldn't blow down his door I climbed up on the roof to go down the chimney. Lots of details from the story but some additions; after the wolf ran off, she became his mother, comforting him after he fell in the pot of hot water. Then she was Little Red Riding Hood bringing a basket of treats to her grandma. She placed little blocks and things in a box with a handle and identified each item--a teether became a slice of raisin bread toast, a cube was a cookie, this was a bowl of soup, this was ice cream. It was great! Then she was "sick" and I had to bring treats to her.
Never a dull moment! And she narrates everything she does. I enjoyed the time with just her.
