Ember has started role-playing quite a lot with her toys (which is scary because I hear my own voice coming out of her mouth fairly often!) A week or so ago she was playing 'five little ducks' with all her bath ducks, and we had this very confusing conversation:
Em: (in the bath) Mama?
Me: yes?
Em: no, not you mama, mama duck mama
Me: oh, okay
Em: Mama?
Me: yeah?
Em: no, not mama, mama duck mama!
Me: ok, sorry
Em: Mama? (pause) Mama? (pause) MAMA?
Me: yes?
Em: not you mama, mama duck mama!
Me: I don't think she's going to answer
Em: ... (starts voicing Mama Duck)
This is my favourite so far! I can see a play or series of skits coming...
