Practicing to be a Mommy?

Today, Teacher Jennifer at daycare told me that Rachel took a naked little dolly from the shelf and rocked her, just like all the teachers rock the kids and just like she's seen other kids rock their dollies. ("Rock me," she has started to say to me every night when we're in the glider in her bedroom, cuddling and tickling).

Rachel then walked to the wall where the clipboards are. The clipboards are for each child and help the teachers keep track of who needs diaper changes when.

So Rachel studied the clipboards intently, just like the teachers do, and handed her dolly to Jennifer and said, "Dolly needs a diaper."

Jennifer said Rachel then put the dolly on the changing table, so Jennifer improvised and covered the dolly's bottom with a piece of paper towel and tape.

The whole thing sounds completely adorable and I wish I could've been there to see it.
