Barbie Day

The last day before school starts so Ellie and I spent a long time together playing Barbies. Her story was so cute that we were acting out. Barbie (Viveca) was getting married to Brian (the African American Ken doll.) She dressed all the bridesmaids and even little flower girls. Ken (the best man) got hurt in a surfing accident so one of the Barbies was his nurse in the hospital. Since his wife, Cheryl, was the maid of honor she asked the videographer to take a video so she could bring the DVD to show Ken in the hospital. The nurse fed Ken orange soda and watermelon to get his strength back. (contents of Barbie BBQ set) Viveca and Brian went to Hawaii on their honeymoon. I asked how long the flight was but she said let's just pretend it only takes two hours in the Barbie car. In Hawaii they met another couple (Ken2) and another Barbie. The realized they are both from Norwood and they are neighbors.
Viveca got a couple phone calls on her cell phone... one was Cheryl calling to say Ken was ok, and he liked the DVD. And one was from "Auntie" who babysitting the doggie but the doggie wouldn't drink anything. So Viveca told Cheryl "believe it or not all that dog drinks is orange soda." (Ellie herself hates orange soda but the Bbq set came with 3 bottles)
Then Viveca and Brian went to the beach to go suntanning (we discussed the danger of UV rays) and they met a mermaid! The mermaid's pet dolphin got a "stubbed flipper" so Viv drove the mermaid and the dolphin quickly to the vet in the convertible.
The vet put the dolphin in the pool and put a bandage on the flipper. Then Viv and the mermaid took the dolphin back to the ocean and Viv said she would come in 2 weeks to help bring the dolphin to get the bandage off.
Later, Brian and Viv ran into the mermaid again and she told them the dolphin was ok so they didn't need to go to the vet.
So, they get back from the honeymoon and Viv has a baby girl at the hospital. ("She didn't know she was gonna have a baby and it didn't take 9 months")
Ken comes to visit now that he is out of the hospital and brings a new carseat and a new hat for the baby.
The new baby is named Elizabeth and the baby's older cousin Dorothy came to see her in the hospital. DOrothy couldn't stay because she had to go to her first day of Kindergarten.
Then Grandma Midge (the short haired Barbie from the 60s my aunt gave Ellie) came to see the baby too. This is the same grandma that held the flower girls on her lap during the wedding.
And that's where the story ended... with Dorothy off to Kindergarten.. and that's where Ellie will be tomorrow. What an imagination... and wow.. can you tell what's going on in her life!!!!
