Start each day as a baby animal. Always. Each morning when you wake up, check to see if the alien is awake and then scramble out of bed. Grab your whoppie frog and Howie and head to the kitchen to see if Mommy is already awake. Say to her, "The alien is awake. I'm a baby chipmunk" or wombat, or kangaroo, or monkey, or... well, you get the gist. The key to this game is that Mommy must agree to be the mommy animal. If she tries to pull some shenanigans in which she is a different animal or just mommy, don't put up with that nonsense and call her the mommy animal name anyway.
Sometimes, it's advisable to branch out from baby animals. Spend an afternoon calling your mother "Grandma" and insist that she call you Olga. Olga, your "big girl name." Duh. Ask "Grandma" to ask you how old you are and when she does reply, "forty."
Time spent reading is time well spent. Time playing with small animals is time well spent. An entire afternoon doing both? Heavenly.
