So one of Seville's favorite things to do lately is pretend we're all somebody else. She pretends to be friends or cousins sometimes (in which case I pretend to be their Mommy), but mostly we pretend we're each other. So at least once a day she'll announce that she is Daddy or she is Mommy and then Daddy and Mommy get assigned parts - one of us has to be the other one and one of us gets to be Seville. It's pretty fun. And she is actually very obedient when I say things like, "Mommy, are you getting in the car fast?" "Yes, Seville!" she'll say, speedily getting into the car. Only it's more like, "Yes, Seviiwe!"
The other day, after Seville took a bath, Jared came into the living room to find her doing this...
"I'm Mommy! I'm on the computer!" she announced.
Seriously, is this what she thinks of me? Leading up to my recent concert with Cantico, I was on my computer it seemed all day every day (I was managing web-sales and other stuff for the concert, as well as singing in it), so after I heard about her little "imitation" of me, I vowed to stay off my computer unless she was asleep, for a while. So far it seems to be working, and the impression she has of me as an ever-computing Mom is fading into the background. Now when she pretends to be me, she says, "I'm Mommy! I'm driving!" (is that even better? hm.)
