October 22- The Bear Club




Carlea noticed the closet under the stairway today.  She wants it to be her clubhouse.  (And Harry Potter didn't like it!)  She's been making plans and imagining what her little club would do in there.  Read books, play games, etc... When I told her it was time to get ready for bed she had to line up all her bears (part of the club) to guard the door.  Then she spent 15 minutes giving each one specific directions.  Some can sleep, some can play, some can read, but there always has to be someone looking at the door and they are not allowed to move from their spots.  She almost wasn't going to allow the lobster in because he had claws, but then we had a talk about including them all-- they all need love and a group to play with and each one is special in their own way.....As I was watching her and Maysie play, it made me kind of sad to think they are growing up so fast.  I cherish these moments.
