Playing House

June 7, 2008 by Danielle Filed Under: Boys, Girls, Play

Gabrielle is the mommy and Raphael is the daddy. Three or four plastic babies are nestled in various corners of a house made up of pillows, blankies, an old sweatshirt, and a jumprope. There are bibs and bottles and pots of tea. There are matchbox cars and a barking stuffed dog.

Daddy swings a plastic hammer dangerously close to Mommy’s head and shouts, “I smashing! I smashing real hard!”

He is building.

Mommy smiles at him indulgently as she hangs another blankie and sings, “Our house is made of sticks … Our home is made of loooooove!”
