Imaginary play

Today was an exciting day in the Little People world: Cartacarizza and Project Daddy got married (again):



They spent a long, laborious time picking out their outfits for the affair, which is interesting, seeing as their clothes are stuck to their little plastic bodies. Project Daddy was especially pleased to have found the perfect pair of pants. Or, as Julia said, "Oh, I found the PERFECT... uh... Mommy, what are these called?" "Um, pants?" I replied, then added, "Or I guess you can call them trousers." After a moment's thought, Julia responded, "I'm just gonna call them pants, because I don't really know how to say that other word."

Unfortunately, it seems to have been a kid-free wedding, so many of the Little People were not able to attend. "Mommy, look!" Julia exclaimed, showing me the following scene:


"Laurie, Patrick, Michael and Scott are all at home with no mommy because their mommy went to the wedding to be a guest!"

The mommy of these four kids left with their noses against the wall is Princess Mia (sometimes known as Cinderella), who also happens to be the daughter of Cartacarizza and Project Daddy. Why the bride and groom wouldn't want their own grandchildren at the wedding is something of a mystery to me, but perhaps Princess Mia just chose not to bring them so she could get wild and crazy at the big event:


Too much champagne, perhaps?

Madeleine has also done a fair amount of pretend play today, starting the day off with the following greeting, in a faux deep voice, to her bath-toy pelican:


"Hello, Duck! How are doing?"

  1. BAHAHAHAHA. I love the last two photos and captions in this post.

    Also - Julia can't say "trousers"? What a weirdo.
