Just call them Max or Challi, either will work.
By Moriah on August 21st, 2009
The kids have started pretending they’re dogs. It is utterly funny. They take turns being the master – named Andy, appropriately enough.
And, I probably should also mention that the two who play as dogs are just as obedient* as Max.
(*rolling eyes)
Madeline makes the best one… she just crawls around with her tongue out, panting, and won’t say a word. Drew, on the other hand, tries to keep organizing things from his perch on the floor. We constantly have to remind him that dogs don’t talk.
The ‘kennel’ is Drew’s closet. They even knocked down a folded-up Pack N’ Play to use as the gate. It’s most funny when Adelaide is the master and she’s ordered the big dogs into the kennel with her bossy little two-year-old voice. And then she slams the door.
(And I may or may not encourage them to play in the kennel for hours on end. It’s a little quieter around here when they do.)

Love it. Daniel is pretending black spiderman these days. Interesting case study on child psych, huh.

LOL!
Makes me think of Charlotte Lucas saying she encourages Mr Colins to spend hours tending his garden :o)
Don’t you love their imaginations!!!
my kids are ALWAYS pretending they are dogs and cats.
specifically ‘bolt’ and ‘mittens’
its a little embarrassing in public…
I love when they find something ‘new’ to play. They have a great time, and I get so much done!
That’s great! I can relate to the closet play being the quiet place these days. Caleb has a light in his, so for homeschool we set up a little carpet in there for his reading corner. He and Alice will sit in there forever together playing games and reading books in his reading corner. My oh my, its a quiet house when that goes on! Here’s to learning to read!
That’s great! I think my little Bethany would really get into that. Dixie is her favorite “person” right now!
HAHAHAHA that is hilarious :D remember when sandra & i wanted to be dogs when we grew up?
i cant wait to see you in like three days!!
It’s good to know my daughter’s not the only one…
I would too…but *shhh* lol
