imagination

i LOVE that penny is really learning to play pretend and use her imagination lately.  this weekend it was out in full force.

1.  when we were visiting baby cousin... penny got a bit jealous and ran up to tell me, "penny mommy's baby" "mommy hold penny" "penny baba" and would bring me stuff so we could pretend she was a baby. she would fake cry, burp, and crawl around and lay on the baby mats. 

2.  penny was pushing one of her dolls face down on lisa and kevin's floor.  make "swooshing" noises and just pushign this baby for awhile until i asked, "penny what are you doing".  her reply, "baby mimming" (swimming).  her tone of voice is the best - likely clearly this child was swimming and clearly i'm an idiot for asking.

3.  penn has been OBSESSED with her phones lately.  normally she just holds it and smiles but i cuaght her having a fake conversation yesterday that went a little esomethign like this;

Holding an ipod to her ear (she calls this a phone too)

"hello"

"penny's phone phone"

"it's penny's phone"

"hi" "hello"

"babies, baba, penny's phone"

"hi suzy"

"mine. mine. my phone. penny's phone"

"penny's milk . bye bye"

all while holding her purse, ipod to the ear and head titled to the side.

i hope whoever she was talking to was aware that this is penny's phone...
