Moving out of the Dollhouse

I went upstairs earlier to check on Eva during her "naptime."
I came up to an explosion of dollhouse furniture, littering the floor.

"What is going on?"

"Mommy, they're moving out of their house into a new one and the girls have to move all of the new furniture into the new place.  We were going to have a garage sale but then we just decided to do this.  Do you want to play?  Do you want to watch if the princesses put the furniture in the right place?"



"Sure, Eva."

One by one, she starts placing all of the oddly grouped furniture back into the house.

"Ert."  (My buzzer sound.)

"What Mommy?"

"She doesn't like the chair in that room."

"Well that's where it goes."  Eva persisted.

"Well, I disagree.  It looks better in that room, and look you have two lamps on that table.  Who needs two lamps at the same time?"

Eva gave me a look, but moved the lamps.  Usually, when she invites you to play with her, what she really means is, will you sit and watch me play?  Rarely are my ideas welcomed.

"Listen, Cinderella really needs to use the potty...you better get moving."  I watched as she redesigned her dollhouse with furniture in new locations.  Just in time for the Princess potty.
