"Dog and Baby"

For several months now, one of the kids' most favorite things to pretend is something they made up and call "Dog and Baby".  Before naps, they will tell each other "Let's play dog and baby when we wake up".  I'm not sure why Lily's role is the "baby" because she's more just a dog owner, not a "baby".  I think that sometimes they say she is a Mommy too in this scenario??  They also talk about "pushing their buttons" and transforming back into Peter and Lily when one of them is tired of playing.  

There's a little delay in getting to the actual dog and baby part.  The leash is stuck under the dog and Peter is distracted by a book and almost ropes Lily in instead (get it?).  

Sometimes you just can't force these things.  ;)

Lily is so cute saying, "Fetch it, Boy!"  Peter is quite into and good at his dog role!
