Amanda is getting to the age where she can come up with her own “make believe” ideas, and will interject what she wants to pretend instead of just following Eva’s lead. It sometimes leads to friction, of course, but for the most part the girls play together wonderfully well. She wants to follow along as Eva does her lessons, so I make photocopies of Eva’s worksheets for her to color on. She already knows her colors, letters and numbers, and is beginning to pick up letter sounds from listening to Eva.
Amanda is the princess of the family, and she naturally gravitates to all things girly. She loves to play with dolls, tea sets and dress up…the toys Eva usually passed up in favor of stuffed animals, cars, and horses. She’s noticed that none of her Disney princess dolls wear leggings under their gowns, so it’s become difficult to convince her that princesses DO wear leggings when it’s 40 degrees outside.
