Here's one for the scrapbook.
It's Sunday afternoon and Leah's at a sleepover and all is quiet in Alice's room. I'm puttering around the house and Dave is watching football. I love quiet afternoons like this.
Alice has been down a few times for supplies, including a coach pillow she needed to have in her room "forever."
Later, I'm getting her ready for bed and finally enter her room. Here's what I find: Three pillows set-up with blanket "chairs" and a swatch of doll hair taped to each pillow. There are hair brushes on each pillow. The Barbie is set up on a "desk" ready for the demonstration of how to correctly brush hair.
Nearby, three dolls now have much shorter hair.
Is it wrong that I just laughed and laughed?
Anyway, she quickly enrolls me in her hair brushing class, which I pass with flying colors -- I'm happy to add. Alice is an excellent instructor and shows me a few times the right technique.
I know I probably should be mad about something here. But I love her imagination at work. And I'm not going to punish that. After the class, I helped her clean up. And she told me the dolls love their new looks, though she promised Ariel a "complete makeover" later the next day.
