Tonight instead of playing Dora in Dora's House, she said, "Hey Mom, how bout we play Chip and Joanna and design Dora's house for her?"
I thought it sounded great, so we cleared out all the furniture and then she ran over for some paper. She stood back and sketched out her ideas for a minute.
She came over, face serious, eyes on the house, "Chip, I think the kids rooms should be upstairs... and I'll just need you to take out this wall. And this one. And this one." [Gestures to 3 of 3 walls upstairs]
She'd tilt her head, scrunch her nose, waffle her hands like "so-so", very busy and creative, channeling her inner Joanna.
Then she had Dora's mom knock on the front door, come in, and exlcaim, "I loooove the desiiiiign!"
