My Friends!

Buggy calls her stuffed animals and toys her "friends". I'll hear her playing in her room and yell, "oh no, my friends are stuck. We have to save them". When I walk into her room, I'll find that her animals have either been shoved into her kitchen oven, or she's jammed them into her closet. Then we have to rescue all of her friends and ask them if they are okay. If they are hurt, we have to pull out her doctor's kit and she inspects them with all of her doctor tools and then proclaims, "there, you are all better."

She also likes to play the piggy game. This consists of her pulling coins out of daddy's wallet and running upstairs to feed her piggy bank. Once she drops the coins in, she grabs the pig's face and asks, "you feel better now, piggy?".

When I was picking her up out of her bathtub she had to say goodnight to all of her friends. Goodnight Ariel, goodnight boat, goodnight dora, goodnight Flounder...after a few minutes of her saying goodnight to everything she could find - including her soap, she finally said - okay, we can go to my room now.

At night when I carry her from her changing table to the bed, she decides that she's either a fairy, a dragon or a quiet dragon. The "quiet dragon" means I swing her around to fly around the room while she whispers, "roar".

Before we leave the room, daddy and I have to obey her instructions..."kiss sleep sack, kiss other sleep sack, kiss Diego, kiss mommy, kiss Evie. Buenos noches."
