Dana doesn't really know how to play tea party, but she has a general idea. We played car picnic tonight. She laid out a blanket and put two potty chairs, a stool, a pillow and a bean bag, and she invited me to sit down with baby, little girl, two Pooh bears, clownd, and herself. (she's really good at naming her toys, btw). She handed each of us a matchbox car, then took them and put them under the blanket. This is Dana's idea of tea party.
Imaginative play will be very different for Dana. Abstract ideas are difficult for her. But I enjoyed sitting there like most mothers of girls her age--and boys too.

Part of Your World
Dana's favorite song to sing right now is "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. I am going to do my best to type out what we hear as she sings. She likes to throw "Mommy" in there, like she's having a conversation with me.
Look at dis stupft, idment mit meat?
Didn't du say ny commectons commeat?
Didn't du dink gurl as ebryting?
Look at dis drove, treasures old
How mady averns can averns old?
Look ound er you dink,
Sure, she's got everything, Mommy.
I've mot moses penty
I've mot moses gore
You nant Bob? I've got twenty, Mommy!
OOO tares, big meal, want moooooooor
I wanna see peeplar
wanna seem dancin
sollin on, wuzze word? oh, feez.
slippin funs get far
legs wired jumpin dancing,
sollin down, wuzze word? seat!
mmmmmm walk
mmmmmm run
say alay sun
wonder fee
wishy be
part dove at world
And it goes on similarly from there on. I am really hoping to get it on video or recording, but Dana singing actually lets us into part of her world. We can really see that she picks out the big words that she knows and leaves the little words as just utterances that don't make sentence structures apparent. It's like she knows the nouns, and some verbs, but all other parts of speech are just sounds to her. It amazes us when we get full sentences. Today, leaving school, she saw the flag. "Look at the flag, MommyHoney. It's high. It's in the sky."
Oh, and she has started calling me MommyHoney.
