Retention and Internalization

The kids are playing with play-doh and making a birthday dinner for "Little Sister" (a.k.a. Laura) while Baby Carrie and Ma assist.  Angie is playing the parts of "Big Sister" (a.k.a Mary), Ma, and Pa, and doing a perfect job of imitating Ma's calm demeanor and Pa's happy, hearty one.  I guess she was paying attention to Little House on the Prairie after all :)
