"beans"

greta has really been into playing pretend lately. sometimes she pretends that random objects are her friend named "beans". today, "beans" was a jar of frosting. these pictures are of her reading a book to beans. after she finished reading, she said, "what do you want to do now beans? do you want to go on a trip?" and so they did.

firefighter!

lately greta has been into being a "firefighter", which involves donning her firefighter boots, winter hat, gloves, and coat. and on this particular day, a pair of bloomers. oh, and she puts out the "fires" with a cup of water. love it.

school

lately greta has been sort of obsessed with playing "school". i have no idea how she knows what to pretend since she's never been to school, but she's got it pretty much down. she especially likes to pretend that she is riding the school bus. in the first picture, she lined up all the seats for the "friends" to ride the school bus. in the second picture, she got all "ready to go" to school, including her fireman boots and halloween necklace. and see that crib bumper pillow laying on the floor next to her? that was what i had to pretend was my school bus....she wanted me to sit on that and then drag/pull myself around the room on that while she did the same on the toy car. fun.....
