"You be Kendra..."

Yes, I have now become "Kendra" (my real name) to my three year old. She's really into the pretending thing and especially loves to be older--specifically 5 years old (this, of course, has nothing to do with the fact that her cousin Ava whom she adores is also 5 years old.) So I have spent the day answering to "Kendra" rather than "mommy" as a part of her pretending world. "Hi Kendra, would you like to play?" Or "Hi Kendra, Im Ava, let's play the matching game!" "No Kendra, that's not how we do it." What's funny is that i remember doing the exact same thing around the same age.
