"I'm Grumpy because your Dopey".
I know, probably not PC, huh? LOL
I had bought it for Brian when I was in Disney earlier this year but Jason has taken it over now.

Jessie: Love the shirt!
John (almost 8) also doesn't play much, except with electronic type toys as someone else said. He does however have an imagination, he will pretend to be a dog or cat, and loves to climb trees like George of the Jungle or Tarzan. Much of his pretend play is based upon characters from movies, but he does seem to be able to extend it beyond what is seen in the movies. I had to take away all super hero movies and toys as he was having a great deal of trouble separating - he wanted to be batman all the time, and it has really expanded his horizons to get him off the super stuff. He does play with cars, and likes to play games. But compared to a regular 8 year old, his play time is pretty small. So much of what I do with John involves us channeling or directing him as he can't be counted on to always make good choices of how to spend his time. That gets tiresome, always having to be aware of what he is doing and how long he has been doing it, but really it isn't as bad as what we could be dealing with. He has been a gem lately, at school and at home.

Yosh is starting to play. He'll put a puppet on his hand and make it give kisses or ask me to kiss it. And he has just discovered that cars are good for something other than tossing across the room. But his 2 favorite activities have always been reading, i.e. being read to, and music. He'd spend all day watching music videos if I let him. He plays along on his drum or piano or imitqtes the dancing. His favorites are Billy Joel, Metallica and Weird Al Yankovic.

Ashley plays all the time. That has never really been a problem with her. We actually just got done playing tea party. She loves to pretend to pour us a drink. Only problem every now and then she gets water and dumps it on us.
