Life with Lisa

My sister Lisa has been staying with us for a couple of months. Her room is down in our basement for the time being. When Lisa is downstairs Bella stands at the top of the stairs and yells down, "Lisa! Lisa! I"m coming Lisa!" She repeats that line over and over until she finally hits the bottom of the stairs. While those two are down there, Bella cooks for her and makes her all kinds of fake food. Lisa's favorite dish was the fish Bella made....AKA Big Mouth Billy Bass served on a plate :)

Other things she does when she's downstairs with Lisa - dancing around to Lisa's music and pooping. Oh yes, she always decides it's a great place to fill her diaper down in Lisa's space. I always hear Lisa say, "Bella - go upstairs and tell your mom to change you!" Soon there's little footsteps coming up the stairs and across the kitchen floor. And then I can smell her!

This is a look Lisa is often giving Bella, because she is so goofy.

Bella loves having Lisa here. She is always asking where Lisa is. They argue like they are sisters! Bella loves sitting by Lisa and looking at pictures of her trip to Disneyland. She steals Lisa's food while she's eating. But the best thing of all is that she plays "Lisa". Lisa has been working at Famous Dave's, and Bella copies her. She grabs her little bunny purse, fake keys, cell phone, and Lisa's shoes. Bella throws her purse her shoulder, waves her keys in the air, and says, "I'm going to Famous Dave's!" She walks out of the room and about a minute later comes back into the room and announces that she is home.

I love when little ones play pretend. It reminds me of when I was younger and we played house with Mr. Clean....ahhhhh....the memories :)
