Early in the morning three-year-old Lyndi chose to investigate the container of role-play items. She chose a long white dress that she had selected and disregarded in previous sessions as she had been reluctant to get inside a full-length dress. Today she made the decision to try it on. We discussed that the dress was too long for safe play and that I would shorten it.
