New Games

By: Aunt Mimi

Ayda has been using her imagination and coming up with some new games to play. I'll describe them for you in case you visit and she wants to play....

Peter Pan:
This game involves Nana & Papa's bed as the ship.
Ayda = Wendy
Mimi = Peter Pan
Nana = Nana the dog (obviously)
Miles = Tinkerbell
Papa or Daddy = Captain Hook
Mama = Tigerlilly

How to play:
Peter Pan and Wendy fly around the house and escape to the ship to get away from Captain Hook and the alligator who will, if we're not on the ship, bite our toes off. On the ship we have knife fights with Captain Hook and Peter Pan must shield Wendy from all harm.

Baby:
This is a weird game in which Ayda starts crying "Waaaa Waaaa. I'm a baby. I can't talk." And whoever is around treats Ayda like a baby, rocking her and feeding her and helping her to stand and walk. Sometimes the game is reversed and you are required to be the baby and Ayda is the Mama. She will change your diaper, make sure you are not scared, and leave you and go pretend shopping. Some mom....She tried to give me "medicine" last week in which she forced me to sniff one of those VapoRub nose sniffers. When you are a baby you have no choice....

Tea Party:
Ayda can play this game for hours. Literally. She will serve you tea (water) and will put in cream, sugar, whatever you ask for! She takes napkins and puts bibs on some of her toys -- Ernie, giraffe, and Elmo to name a few. She will also feed her friends Teddy Grahams and sneak them into her own mouth. She will also combine Tea Party with Baby and make you feed her pretend applesauce while she cries "Waaaa waaaaa." Hours of fun!
