Minnie Mouse plays with us

My sister got Carolina a large Minnie Mouse statue/piggy bank earlier this week. Carolina loved it so much, she carried it around with her for a bit (it's pretty heavy) and then while we were playing with some wooden puzzles -- the kind that have spaces to put wooden shape pieces to complete the puzzle -- Carolina decided that Minnie would help us. So she had Minnie sit RIGHT NEXT to her and talked to Minnie the whole time.

"Minnie hep?" (Minnie will you help?)
"Minnie wheh iz ova? You find it" (Minnie where is the oval? Oh you found it!)


In fact, Minnie was so good at helping, I ended up asking Minnie if she could do the hard ones that Carolina had previously had trouble with -- and she could!


It was great to see Carolina doing more complex things when she thought she was helping Minnie play with us. I don't know what to make of it but it was fun.
