When I picked Ember up from Toddlers today (her daycare, part of Campus Creche), Kelly (one of the teachers) said to me: "Ember took very good care of her baby [doll] all day today." There was a slight pause and then she said to me: "Do you have someone close to you with a young baby?" I smiled and said "Was Ember breast feeding her baby?" She was indeed.
The great thing is that at home she "breast" feeds her dollies from her belly button - they have milk and then water! I figure it's more natural than feeding her dolly from a bottle anyway.
Amber and Laura have a lot to answer for :-)
Ha! But I never feed William from my belly button! Although I have to say that I think she is instinctively (or intuitively?) mimicking the umbilical cord :)
