Jack asked for a Cinderella doll that he had seen one day while we were grocery shopping. Daddy didn't want him to have one...as he thought "people will think he is a weirdo." After seeing the doll the next couple times we shopped and telling him "no" and then discovering on the next visit that it was gone....I was disappointed. It broke his little heart. Then, he moved the Snow White doll, and there was Cinderella...he was so happy....so I had to buy her.
Since then, Cinderella has become Jack's "friend." He talks to her, explains things to her, and wants me to "make Cinderella talk." I make her talk to him and he smiles and tells her about everything. He will not stop talking...he loves having her as a friend.
The other evening, he told Cinderella this:
"Cinderella, there was a Snow White at the store...but I didn't want her....I only wanted you" he said with a big smile on his face...beaming at this little princess doll. He is so sweet. He understands that I am speaking for her...but he talks directly to the doll...he takes her everywhere with him and talks about seeing her again at Disney World. It is so cute. I am so glad that he has had the opportunity to experience this sort of creative play. He is my sweetest little boy and I love hi with every bit of my heart.
John Paul....I love your sweet little boy head!
