Processing through play

The last few months Dani's play has been a representation of what she is learning. A couple weeks after Halloween (Nov 16) the nativity set was arranged as below. The wise men on the right are "trick or treating" and the angel is flying in an airplane to Texas. I have no idea what the cougar is doing or why Mary is walking away, this is just how she left it when she had to go to bed.


Then last night Dani was playing with her baby doll, Barbara. We overheard her saying "Bahbwah pee potty" and then a few seconds later using her comb and saying "wipe bahmin" and adding "Ahhh!" as if Barbara felt better.
I particularly thought it was funny how she created Barbara's toilet with the coaster holder and Tupperware. It is somewhat similar to Dani's little potty with a bowl that can be emptied.
For those who may wonder, no, I never did wipe her bottom with a comb and we are unfortunately not flying to Texas soon. Those were just part of Dani's creative additions.
