In my last post, I pointed out there was another "little lady" in a few of the photos alongside Mallory. If you didn't figure out who I was talking about, allow me to introduce you to Cinderella- on her wedding day. She is BFF's with Ariel and Snow White, and they have been going EVERYWHERE (and I mean everywhere) with us lately! Mallory never leaves the house with just one- all three must travel together, and thanks to her cousin, Isabella, we have the perfect travel purse for all of them!
Now, I also spoke in a previous post about how animated Mallory has been getting lately- making full stories with her ducks in the bathtub going up in the elevator to the Peabody Hotel, or lining up all her little people to go to school or in a parade. Well, today in the back seat there was quite a commotion! These three little princesses got into a heated fight, and Mallory explained to me that Cinderella was pinching and Ariel broke Snow White's necklace. After she got that far in the story, I could see she got a little emotional, because she didn't know how to get a happy ending. I suggested she put them in "time-out" in separate places to calm down, and then have them all apologize to each other.
So, Snow White was on her left leg, Ariel was on her right leg, and she held Cinderella (of course). After a bit, she started making kissing noises and said they all made up and now they were going to the ball together!
This may seem like such a silly thing to put on a blog, but I am just eating up the breadth of her little imagination these days! She is SO emotional, and really translates her past experiences with movies or TV shows or even what we have done together into role plays with her toys. I am not psychologist, but I think this may be a sign of good things to come with her dealing with her emotions and really telling us what she is feeling.
By the way- I got these little princesses at the Dollar Tree for $1.00 each!!!! She got them for Christmas, and has really grown attached to them since being in Texas. If any of you have seen others lately, let me know- I'd love to add to her collection... especially at that price!
