Secret Agent GG

Gralynn and Gaines are so into this whole "Secret Agent" role play thing. It's really cute to watch, actually. Gaines is trying so hard to keep up with Gralynn's sophisticated imagination, which ends up being his version of role playing whatever SHE's role playing. They make forts all over the house and have become pretty independent when they play. Well, I actually referred to them as "deodorant" while talking to Cara the other day b/c I was complaining about them being right up under me all day, but when they are in the zone---they don't need me and play very nicely together. Gralynn discovered this old voice recorder and decided this was the "WALL-E" the detective robot here to help them escape the bad guys. Gaines had just gotten up from nap and Gralynn was urgently tugging at him wanting him to come and hide from the bad guys. Gaines looked at her and said, "Sissy, there are no bad guys" and Gralynn demanded "Yes there are Gaines! I just got a message on this secret transmitter and we have to hide. Hurry. Over here" So they hid under the kitchen table and decided they could be seen, plus I was vaccuming their feet, they tried another area under a table stand, and finally said : "Mom, bad guys can see us down here, can we just go upstairs and play in our rooms?" Well, of course!!!! I normally have to beg them to go play in another room. But rather than going to the play room upstairs, they are in their bedrooms which means they are tearing them up!
