My daughters are playing pretend. The couch is currently a trolley car. Annika is saying, "We better seep now."
Tryn responds, "it's dark now, we better sleep. Where's our home? We need a place to be very cozy with lots of blankets. We have to get off the trolley so that we can sleep together." she insists. Now Annika climbs up on the chair with Tryn and they are snuggling up together pretending to sleep. Annika just follows Tryn's idea by constantly interjecting, "we gotta seep! we gotta seep"! A minute ago I started following this because they were both laying on the couch and Tryn, with her arm wrapped around Annika, says to her, "sweetie, we are taking a rest right now, okay?" This was after a long series of jumping from the arms of the couch down to the pillows. One reason having a junky couch is a great thing.
Now the story unfolds with whispered shhhs! and surprised running. Tryn is pretending that a baby toy is a lantern shedding light and then pretends to be scared and seeing a monster. "It's a monster?! we better find another place to sleep! Annika yells "we'd better shoot!" and starts bombing. Tryn concurs and joins in. "All the ghost-es, and monsters, and wolves and bears and foxes and bunnies are coming to a meeting of the ghost-es, monsters, and wolves." They start to shoot. Annika says, "a wolf is coming, a wolf is coming" "I Shooting! Shoo, shoo, shoo." Tryn tells her they are already shot. Annika insists that the shooting must continue. Now a chore chart and stickers distracts Tryn. I think it is time for a few more good fairy tales followed by a nap.
