Leah is heavy into the princess thing right now. It hasn&#8217;t kept us from playing barbies, it has caused us to play barbies in a particularly princess-y way.

Somewhat trashy policewoman minidress(?). We used the great Firefighter clothes to create a Firefighter Character Player. She was so cute she immediately impressed upon us a role for herself [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=playbarbies.wordpress.com&#038;blog=14215944&#038;post=232&#038;subd=playbarbies&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

After a while she wanted one of her barbies to sing so it sort of became a talent contest. Finally, she decided her doll would teach my doll [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=playbarbies.wordpress.com&#038;blog=14215944&#038;post=185&#038;subd=playbarbies&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

We have purchased various pieces from sets put out in the 90&#8242;s and we are able to create a lot of different classroom configurations.

Sometimes Leah wants to play a scenario that I feel we&#8217;ve already &#8220;played out.&#8221;  But children need repetition, and I want to allow her the practice of whatever situation she&#8217;s interested in so when I acquiesce to her [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=playbarbies.wordpress.com&#038;blog=14215944&#038;post=133&#038;subd=playbarbies&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

When you don&#8217;t have some kind of props or accessories you will run out of play scenarios pretty quickly.  A theme that Mattel seems to have come back to over and over again is pets so you don&#8217;t need to buy the latest [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=playbarbies.wordpress.com&#038;blog=14215944&#038;post=127&#038;subd=playbarbies&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
