Pretend Games

Emma has been getting into pretend lately....I should clarify. She has loved dressing up and playing pretend for years already. But lately, she has been playing a different sort of pretend. Not animals, not princesses or fairies. More like she's pretending to have a career. Last week she played policeman, and lately she's been playing pirate. Wait, I guess technically pirate isn't a career...but it's still very cute!





ARGH! Ahoy, matey! Notice the outfit she chose to wear to be a pirate...yes, it was 85 degrees outside. Only when you're a little kid would you consider something like this!





The lamb was her prisoner--notice the handcuffs! I asked her what her prisoner's name was, and her reply was, "Well, usually her name is Soft Lamb, because she's soft and she's a lamb....but in this game, her name is Emily." She would not tell me what Emily's crime was....
