Ellie is deep into creative play making cookies and having a birthday party with playdoh or being a kitty and wanting to crawl on the floor at Costco on all fours. She is forever in “pretend mode”.
Tonight she crawled up on my lap after she finished her dinner and I said, “hello, who are you?” I was expecting to hear that she was a unicorn or a kitty or a pterodactyl and I was planning to join into her game…
She looked me straight in the eyes and said, “I’m Ellie.”
How profound????!!!!!
