Darci's Dress Up



Well, for those of you who know Darci well, you know that she loves to reenact videos she's seen. And actually, lately, we've had a really great breakthrough that she's immitating every day life now too! I've seen her taking care of her babies the way she sees me care for Garrison. She likes to read to her dolls the way her teacher does at school. It's so exciting!

But anyway, when Darci plays dress up, she is usually dressed up as a character in a movie. So, as I've noticed this pattern, I try to take a picture when I see her dressed as one of them. So, here is a little "collage" of Darci and some of her favorite characters:

Maria on her way to the Von Trapp's


"Maria" singing "I Have Confidence"


Maria hitting her high C in "Do a Deer"



"Maria" hitting her own high C


Shaun the Sheep




"Shaun the Sheep"



Professor Harold Hill




"Professor Hill" marching and singing "76 Trombones"

Belle





She actually only saw this once at my neighbor's house...but remembered that she had on a yellow dress with off the shoulder sleeves.


Cinderella







"Cinderella". She found this piece of blue foam and put it on her head for the head piece. Then she got one of Matt's socks and one of her own for gloves.




Wii flying chicken




"The Wii Flying Chicken"




My sweet, silly Doozer! I love you!

This is one of my favorite posts of all. I love that she's doing this, and I love that you recognize it. I seriously don't think I would have recognized what she was doing!
