Playing baby

One of the girls' favorite games to play together is "Mommy-Baby," where Resli pretends to be the Mommy and Lela pretends to be a little baby. (Lela is getting tired of this more often lately, with an angry "I'm NOT a baby!", but it had a good run.) There are all kinds of scenarios involved in this game, from feeding to diapering to everything in between. Picking baby up was a relatively new addition, one which made the real parents very nervous.

Not only is it generally unsafe, but Lela only weighs about a pound and a half less than Resli. So we knew it had to end badly at some point. As, you can see, it did:
