Lucy plays houses almost every night, and usually there isn’t enough room in the main house for both animal families, so we build another one.
Here’s one located on an island, reached by a bridge. (Note the mice floating on cake islands.)
The other day we built a house for the mouse family which reminded me of the Guggenheim museum, hence the title of this post:
The mouse family inside their new house, they also got some furniture this build:
An overview shot, and a clue to how long it lasted:
One of Lucy’s fave books at the moment is The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr (who also wrote the beloved Mog books).
Recently we snagged a tea set with the aforementioned tiger on it. Here are some pics of Lucy sharing tea with auntie; clearly she hasn’t mastered the finer points of dunking yet.
Oh, and in my quest for the teaset I discovered that there is actually a play based on this book.
Don’t know how they can stretch it out to an hour’s worth, unless there is a toddler on the side of the stage saying ‘again!’ everytime they get to the end…
Lucy gathered her friends together for a tea party, complete with musical accompaniment on her guitar and drum, dancing, and reading material for her guests.
Lucy has been getting more interested in her dolls, and consequently, she wants to carry them just like Mommy. So I got her a doll wrap!
How did I know? She points to a dolly, then grabs ones of my wraps. (Gmommy asked if she feeds dolly just like Mommy 
, and the answer is not yet! )
It’s not the best wrapping job in the world (look how dolly’s head is sticking out the side in the above pic!) but she generally wants it off after 5 minutes anyway.
Miss Lucy is beginning to take more interest in her dolls. She has one small baby-doll which she carries and rocks, and a couple of these soft dolls too.
This pic was taken on a very hot day, so she was wearing a summery dress for the first time this year.
And look what her dolly is wearing — a very similar summery dress! (Thanks to Gma Karen and Gpa Tom for Lucy’s dress!)
