Before we had FHE, we were invited to watch a little production that Phoebe and Alexander planned.
I may go find a few more little tidbits in the future (see below), but for now I share this clip with you—a warning about their use of flashing lights that they felt they needed to include (and...honestly? It was probably necessary):
Mostly we got to enjoy a chronology of Baby Doll Princess's day/life.
Act one was her birthday, so Phoebe had to go to the LEGO/prop room to find some birthday cake. Then she put her baby to bed. Then it was time for "brekky" so she had to go find some breakfast for Baby Doll Princess.
"What should I get for her brekky?" Phoebe asked.
"Eggs?" Alexander suggested.
"She doesn't like eggs!" Phoebe moaned.
I don't remember what she grabbed for Baby Doll's breakfast. For lunch, though, she did grab eggs and Alexander (the light man) was like, "I thought you said she didn't like eggs..."
"She likes eggs sometimes," Phoebe said.
The whole time she was commanding Alexander (the light man) with, "Alex, day!" or "Alex, night!" and he'd switch modes on the light (though it was always rather dark).
After watching Baby Doll Princess eat so many meals, Andrew bravely interrupted Phoebe's explanation of the next act (those were her words—"In our next act...") to say that that would, unfortunately, have to be her last act.
"No!" she said defiantly. "It can't! Because there are many more acts to go, Dad!"
When her audience giggled she whirled on us and said, "THERE ARE LOTS OF BITS!"
We told her it was good to sometimes leave her audience hankering for more.
She cried.
In our defense, she had taken all the couch cushions to construct her stage.
"Where are we supposed to sit?" we asked.
"Oh, here, there, anywhere!" she sang out as she welcomed us in and gave us our tickets. "You can even sit on the floor!"
So we weren't a very comfortable audience, but I daresay we were a patient one.
We calmed her down and went up for FHE. Miriam was teaching, but Phoebe was conducting and she assigned various baby dolls all the jobs (much to Alexander's annoyance). This baby doll chose the song, that baby doll was in charge of the underwear thought, that baby doll was asked to say the prayer.
"She's just doing all the jobs," Alexander moaned.
But he was ultimately a good sport. We'll catch him on the underwear thought next week.
