Welcome to Polly and Marissa's world. That is Polly...as in Polly Pockets. For the last few months or so, Marissa has been heavy into Polly Pockets. To tell the truth (I never would have guessed this), Polly Pockets was actually good therapy for both of us after Jaime died.
Many of Marissa's conerns and thoughts have come out while engrossed in the world of Polly, as her dolls voiced fears and thoughts rolling around in her mind. Mama's dolls got to answer and counsel Marissa's.
Through the stressful days immediately following Jaime's death, Marissa's world was not normal. We did as much as we could to keep a structure and give her attention, but her little world was severely changed. There were many days the first week that I had promised her we would play and we sometimes ended up in the playroom at 9:30 at night to do it. But, with all the free counseling these little dolls bring, I'm all for Polly Pockets. We still play almost daily. Welcome to our miniature world!
