Lillianna has a most vivid imagination. She always has and I hope she always will. She has entered a phase recently where she can play and talk to "her friends" (her stuffed animals) for a very long time. She plays their Mother, something she can turn on and off like a switch. "I'm Curly's mother now and you are Grandmother." or "No, I'm not Curly's Mother. I'm just Lillianna, Mom."
So I was watching her be Curly's Mother yesterday.
She was so sweet, so attentive, so loving, so understanding, so gracious, so perfect as a Mom.
Me: Lillianna, you are such a wonderful Mommy. Who taught you how to be such a good Mommy?
{Not even a pause}
Lillianna: Curly.
I should have seen that coming.
