"Welcome to Starbucks"


Oh my, how I love, Love, LOVE the animation of this little lady. She has me rolling when she's in her dramatic play bubble. *I should mention that Olivia really enjoys pretending to drink coffee, and everytime we go to a coffee shop wants a to go cup to take home.She was thrilled to get a tiny little Starbucks apron from Tabitha for her birthday. It's exactly like the one's the Barista's at Starbucks wear. Tabitha is one of those super creative people(who I SO WISH I WAS,) and put together a really darling gift for Liv. So, she came over the other day to make crafts with Olivia and they had a little extra time to play "coffee at Starbucks." Olivia set up the mock Starbucks station at the window. She had all kinds of props~I small coffee pot that really sucked up water and poured it back out into the coffee pot, Starbucks to go cups, Starbucks gift card, fruit snacks(in case there were little one's in the car with customers.) She would ask Tabitha questions like "do you have any kids?, would they like some water?" When Tabitha played the role of the Barista she asked Olivia if she worked and what she was up to. Liv's response "I work at Nordstrom, and a baby hospital." Then she went on about how she liked her job but not really because she couldn't be home with her kids. Whenever Olivia is pretending to be a mom she has this high pitched voice & fake laugh that makes me laugh so hard my belly hurts. She is so funny! Tab and I were laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. Not laughing at Olivia of course, we just couldn't believe how animated she was/IS!

My favorite was when she was bouncy her baby on her hip, looking sorta frustrated and worn out and said to me "I must look AWFUL, I haven't even had a chance to shower yet." She is so animated and cracks me up:)

Oooh, they are both so adorable! I love it, the cute playtime of that age. Those two look like they are pretty good baristas! ☺ -A

Oh, she was cracking me up! I love the little things she comes up with to say. She is such a little pretender...which means she's a great observer!! She learns quickly. When my mom leaves, and she's been in school for awhile, maybe one weekend I can have her over for a sleepover :)
