Dollhouse Therapy

Since Grammy Dee-Dee's here Bree and her have been inseperable, spending pretty much every minute together playing a variety of little games Brianna thinks up. One of their favorites over the past few days has been to play with the dollhouse Bree got for Christmas. It's a Little People dollhouse and like any other has all the main rooms a house would have, and is compatible with all the Little People dolls. Bree loves it because she likes to make Grammy make the people "knock-ock" on the front door..and endless parade of visitors that she gives different responses too. Grammy likes it because she finds Brianna's variety of responses and answers to be interesting and a bit revealing about her little toddler mind. For example, depending on Bree's mood sometimes she tell the kids they can't come in, sometimes she invites them in, sometimes Grammy makes them ask for things (like a snack) that Bree likes to grant or deny them. It's great for her, a place where she has total control of what happens. One of the things Grammy has found particularly amusing though are the names of the dolls....like this one doll is a blond with long braids whom Bree has been calling "Grammy Deb" and Grammy Deb does have long blond hair in real life as well. Then of course there's the doll with short, dark hair (just like my mom has) who is naturally named "Grammy Dee-Dee." My mom thought this was pretty funny since Bree came up with this all on her own. And so, they've played dollhouse for several hours each day and Brianna acts out little things that have happened that day or just random things from out of her imagination...like kiddie therapy, only free and much more entertaining. :)
