What’s inside your purse?
About a month ago, Addison received a package filled with items from the My Princess Closet boutique. In that package was this little purse, cute as could be. Addison is in love with that purse and takes it with her every place we go. She clings tightly to it throughout the day and never allows it to leave her side- even at bedtime.
While she was asleep the other night, I decided to sneak the purse from her bedroom. It needed a good washing after being covered in gallons of drool and Lord only knows what else. As I opened up the purse, which doesn’t have a large storage capacity, I was amazed at how much stuff Addison crammed into that little thing. She’s a hoarder y’all– filling that purse to the brim with everything she can find, no matter how insignificant.
Both her and her brother’s imaginations amaze me. They can take the simplest things and turn them into something magnificent. Two weeks ago, after spending the weekend with my grandmother, the kids came home with an arm full of goodies. Ethan received a car tent, Addison a Disney Princess tent. Ethan set it up to look like a little camping village, with their play kitchen in the middle, that he calls their “store.” They will play for hours in their tents and running to the kitchen to buy food. Addison will open that little purse of hers, pull out one of Ethan’s animal trading cards and away she goes. She never actually walks away with anything, but has fun pretending she’s a big girl and paying for things. Ethan will use one of his daddy’s old wallets, pulls out a quarter and drops it into his piggy bank to pay.
Watching them play melts my heart. I hope that as they grow older, they continue to be the best of friends.
