Here's a sample of how one such feud began:
It started out with brother and sister making up stories together with little ponies and dress-up dolls. Cinderella and Polly Pocket were sharing their glossy silicon outfits quite amicably at the pony castle, when ...
T-Rex showed up,
and spoiled their fun. (Apparently the princesses didn't have enough drama going on.)
That dino menace!
There were so many arguments over some of the tiniest details of cooperative play that at one point I had to throw my hands up and say: "I give up! I don't know who is wrong or right. You'll just have to figure it out between the two of you."
That didn't work.
Ultimately we had to abandon the toys all together and take up a more peaceful activity. Then we napped.

Ah, the politics of playtime ;)
ReplyDeletePriceless. I love you all.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the dinosaur peeking his head into the castle cracks me up. Hope things got easier after naptime!
ReplyDeleteIs that a baby bump listening attentively to storytime? :)
