These are all taken while Emma and I are playing doctor with Polly Pocket characters. She was the dr and I was the nurse.
Emma: The dolls are falling down! This is a silly situation!
———————————————————————————-
Emma: Put these high heels on. She’s going to look so high-heely.

Me: OK, dr, we’ve seen all our patients. What should we do?
Emma: I don’t know
Me: I think we should go shopping.
Emma (coming out of character): Uh, mommy, doctors don’t go shopping.
Me: Well then what should I do?
Emma: You should go arrange stickers. Do you know what arrange means? It means to put stuff out.
Me: Is that what nurses are supposed to do?
Emma: Yes

Me: What is wrong with Polly, doctor?
Emma (out of character): um, mommy, what is wrong with her?
Me (out of character and with my hand on my chin): the flu
Emma: duhflu?
Me (laughing): No, the flu.
Emma: Can we just call it duhflu?
Me: Yes, that’s fine.
Emma (back in character): Ok, Polly has duhflu
