Typical day:
Tatum asks if she can have a new cropped shirt. I say yes, when I get some money and you get rid of some of your old clothes. What does she do?
SHE MAKES HER OWN! She transforms her whole wardrobe into a fashion island of cropped and designer shirts.
When she was younger, she would ask for a
iPad
iPhone
Pup Pad
Laptop
Nintendo
FOR EVERY SINGLE THING, she would realize she wasn’t getting it (immediately) and would proceed to MAKE IT! Paper, pens, scissors, VOILA! (oh and LOTS of TAPE!)
Now the latest…
Tatum asks if she can save up for a “Live” baby. They make these babies that look real. I say that is fine since they are like $50. She has to save for WEEKS!
So next thing I know, she is turning her past old babies into her real children now.
She found some old baby clothes and made her own. Next thing…she wanted some BABY CARRIERS for her baby.
Amazon? NOPE! Her closet!
Now she reads to her…
Feeds her and nurtures her! She’s on a schedule!!
The formula has to be JUUUUUUST right! A little stevia, shake, and you’ve got the perfect mix.
She plays with her and makes dominoes around her..
She even goes on outings with us!
I love how nurturing Tatum is, and I LOVE HOW SHE PRETENDS and makes it so real. She turns idle time into fun, and she turns old toys into NEW!! Everything she is playing with is from her old days of playing. I LOVE YOUR BRAIN, your CREATIVITY, and your IMAGINATION.
Thanks for going to Trader Joes with me! You brought Penelope in her carrier and it made the outing so much more fruitful.
