So, I mentioned we're going to go to an event to meet Eric Gagne tomorrow. Well, I was telling Tabs about it and she can't understand why she can't go up and hug him like she does the characters at Disneyland! It's hard to explain the difference without flat out saying, "Well, Eric is a real person, that's why." I mean, she kind of knows that the characters at Disneyland aren't really real but she chooses to believe they are real and she doesn't get that a Dodger isn't a character. As far as she's concerned everyone is her friend anyway so this really just makes no sense to her. It's going to make even less sense tomorrow when we're in line for 2 hours. We'd never wait that long to meet Snow White, lol.
So we had our playdate this morning and man is my child out of practice with the whole sharing concept! I guess it's been a little too long since her last playdate. In the first half hour there were quite a few tiffs and I think my child may have been the cause of most of them. She and I are going to do some role playing this week, that's for sure. Tabitha and G are great friends though and are very well aligned with imaginative play. They can play dress-up and make up scenarios to act out for hours and not tire of it. My friend and I need earplugs though because there shrill little 4 year old voices reach some pretty high decibels, lol.
Okay, I'm going to start scanning my layouts, but not sure if they'll get uploaded tonight for everyone to view.
