Surrogate parenting has reached a new low

The girls are 'helping' me pack for the trip. Their priorities are as follows:

1. Toys
2. Fluffy dresses
3. Jammies
4. Sparkly shoes

They have very specific and unique criteria for selecting what to bring, especially when it comes to the toys. Melody is choosing her toys based on which ones will miss her the most while she's gone.

Dixie is circumventing this problem by placing all of the toys that she thinks will miss her in a little semicircle, facing her picture. Better yet? The picture is imaginary.
