So last night, I was playing with Gracie. She had managed to dig out all the pigs and cows from the toys and was insisting we play with them together. We would take turns being the pigs or the cows, and at this one point - we each had a pig and a cow. I would give my animals fun names, like Jack & Jill, etc. Gracie insisted on naming hers Jamey & Cara. Aren't we special!! And she would vary who was the pig and who was the cow - so apparently both Jamey and I have pig & cow like features to her. Well anyway - as we were playing pigs & cows - Gracie loudly and empathically announces "I don't like X & Y (pig/cow) - I only like Cara & Jamey!"...which of course received a loud chorus of laughter from the rest of the room. Thinking about that has made me smile all day. :)
When it came time to leave - Mackenzie was giving out hugs and kisses to everyone - Grandma, Sarah, etc. When Gracie asked her for a hug and Mackenzie didn't oblige - Gracie hung her head and pouted. Poor little girl - her feelings were hurt. Advanced as she is. she still forgets Mackenzie is not quite there yet. But Mackenzie did finally give her a hug and kiss - which made her quite happy. Gracie also enjoyed showing Mackenzie how to go potty in the big potty like a big girl. And Mackenzie was all too eager to push into the bathroom and watch. They are too funny together - truly never is a dull moment.
