Make Believe and Combat Crawling

I would love to see into the mind of a 4 year old. We have some seriously fun make-believe play going on in our house these days. Addie's favorite game (this week) is "Superhero" which basically means I tell her when I hear a princess that needs rescuing and where they are and she races off to the rescue. Mario and Luigi help sometimes too (because fabulous parent that I am, she gets to play Nintendo sometimes... and she's pretty good, but that is another post entirely). The other day she told Cam that one of the princesses she rescued didn't have a home and could we please let her live here? Since then I think we have adopted about 8 princesses. I can't keep them all straight, but they have names like Britcon, Billcon, Willcon, Zogettyl, and Rudy (who is sometimes rude to the other princesses and has to be sent to Addie's room until she can be nice again). I try really hard to just play along, but sometimes I can't help but laugh at the imagination.

In the pic below she is dressed as a knight and fell asleep like this during her quiet time. Those are necklaces on her face which she fashioned into a knight's helmet. When she needs to flip the visor up, she just moves the bottom necklace in line with the top. :)

As for Gage, he is army crawling around the house these days. In the video (sorry for the quality, it's from my phone) he had just gotten the hang of it, he's a lot faster now and moving some around the house. I'm not sure if he will ever crawl the traditional way.

And yes, Addie is wearing her Superhero cape. :)
