Imagination!

You must be wondering why Elsie Anne keeps getting new toys?!  Well, her imagination is exploding right now + she has outgrown all her toys!  We are definitely not ones to SPOIL, and choose our toys wisely, so she has truly gotten her $$s worth in the ones we are letting go! 

With winter here, the option of playing outside is rather limited, so its pertinent to have engaging indoor toys for EA (and Adeline, who plays w/ us 3days/wk)!  That said, we decided to get her Christmas presents early:)  We know she'll have plenty to open on Xmas morning, since both our families send her boxes!

With a little encouragement, EA chose this... she is in awe that we have it @ home, since she plays w/ a bigger version @ Peek-A-Boo Toy Store!!

Up, Up, Up the steps...

All she talks about now is her "doll-hows" + the "gull + bewy" (girl/boy) who live there!  As we come down the steps in the mornings, she peeks around the corner to see it + goes nuts!!

This perfect Melissa + Doug dollhouse came w/ 11 pieces of wooden furniture + 2 dolls!  I love EA's enthusiasm as she plays w/ it!  She loves giving them "tubbies" and makes them go out the front door to "wuuk" (work) over + over!!
