I found this article about childs play to be interesting.

I guess I can stop worrying so much about Dd talking to herself all the time.

Yep, she will be in the back seat all by herself and having a fine argument...with herself. So I turn around and say "you girls need to quit arguing." It always cracks her up.

my daughter does the same thing, and she sings to herself a lot...especially when she's mad and Ryan and I. Her life is a musical most days...lol

Oliver likes to bang his head on the floor. Apparently that's fun. It kind of worries me though. lol

Yep, when she isn't talking to her 'friends' she is a non-stop song bird in the car.

"Two turltled doves, three french hens, two turtled doves and a partridge in the pantry!!"

I keep telling her that would make four turtle doves but I guess she has creative rights on it.

Yep, she's a big singer too.... alll the time. She's also big on making up her own words.

Lissa, seems like Dd went through a thing like that for a bit too. I was like "sheesh, doesn't that hurt? Why the heck is she doing that??... STOP IT."
