Mama-in-training

This is a familiar sight with Alannah around, she is often carrying her baby, Molly, or another one of the dolls, or a stuffed animal of some sort, around with her. Just going about her everyday life, sometimes actually playing with them, but just as often playing something else. Like below, she and Charlotte are having fun in the dirt filling and dumping and whatever else little girls play in the dirt, but there's Alannah, playing and carrying her baby. Since I am often carrying a baby around while working around the house, I am guessing she figures it is part of life. I figure it's good training to know how to do things well with one hand or carrying a baby, so she might as well start early ;-)
