(73/365) Little Fort Makers

Sunday, March 14, 2010

Olivia had a friend over this afternoon to play. They officially made about 3 different forts. This must be the 'fort age' because I remember doing the exact same thing.
There must be something universal about the need to make a cave, a hide out, a place that, by the nature of their size, is adult-proof. As I hovered over this tree fort, I listened in on their little girl conversations.
Negotiations were ensuing about if the tree fort was a fairy house or a house belonging to woodland creatures. So adorable ... I don't think they ever officially decided because the lure of gummy bears that I slid through their tiny slit of a door overpowered any make believe summit that was happening.
Later on in the afternoon I walked past her room and noticed Rosie was now a part of the fort making endeavor .... I wonder if she was a fairy mascot or a very large woodland creature!

Ooh! I totally wanted to get that tree fort thing for Tally! I just don't know where to put it.. maybe in her room once we take the glider out. She already has a "secret" reading spot behind said glider. :)
