Playing Teacher

This morning, I set up a sheet of paper for Tess to decorate as she wanted. For the longest time, she was singing a little song as she colored all over the paper. Something like, "Color the paper," sung over and over again to various tunes. It reminded me of Frances from the Frances books, and I snuck up to get a video of it. Just as I started the video, she stopped singing, but then started this game instead.

For Mother's Day, Tess made me a card at school, and on the inside, it said, "Thank you for the hugs." So I quickly recognized this as Tess pretending that she is her teacher at her school. She's pretending to ask the kids, "What do you want to say to your Mommy?" And then she's writing that and saying, "OK, Thank you for the kisses. Write down message. What else do you want to say?" "This says..."

I was charmed.
