Multiple Park Personalities

"Mommy, I am just going to call you that for a minute okay? Walk up to the swings and say hi to me. Pretend you don't know me!"


And so begins another episode of  As the play ground turns


"Hi, I'm Ella.  I am here at the park by myself because my mom is at work so she tells me to go to the park to wait for someone to come and watch me"

"I have 7 older brothers and 6 older sisters. My brothers were all embarrassed and freaking out. They wanted to dance with my sisters but they didn't want to. They were freaking out. They didn't have time. They had work to do. I was the only one who wanted to dance so I danced with my brothers one at a time. Then my sisters freaked out and it was a mess."

" Two of my sisters were adocked, Elsa and Anna, and two of my brothers were adocked too. They had a reindeer named Sven, so we have him too."

"Our parents died so we just all take care of each other. Well, actually just our dad died because he was really, really, really old but our mom is still around."

"I need to call you mommy again. Mommy, I am going to go play and fall down and pretend to cry. You, Jamie, come over and help me out. Okay? Hey Jamie, I am going to go play over here!"


So many times, I find myself wondering if I should be impressed or concerned with her imagination!!  Will she become an author or actress? Or will she be the weird kid psychologists study?  I have been told that she acts a lot like me so I guess I should.... not worry???
