Piper the Teacher

Piper has really started settling in to the classroom routine the last few months.  She talks about seeing Miss Patty and Miss Marilyn as she’s getting ready for school, she’s excited to see her classmates in the morning, and is proud to show us her “projects” when she brings them home. 

Piper is a very good mimicker.  She loves to take a role of someone and replicate it in her pretend play.  She pretends to be a mommy, a doctor, a cook, a driver…  and teacher!

I caught these the other day at the park.  The girls were playing- Addy, apparently, did something that was a “thumbs down decision,” and needed a speaking to…

And today?  Just ignore the fact that it’s the middle of January and my kids insisted on wearing shorts (and no, Addy doesn’t have a shirt on, either...)  Maybe that’s why they wanted their winter coats on?

Good gravy, I love these girls.  I truly treasure watching them interact and play with each other.  They have this uncanny ability to understand each other’s thoughts and anticipate each other’s moves.  It makes trouble-making very easy.

I fear for the teenage years.
