My doggie daughter.. is any1 else havn same issues with kids?

My 2 yr old baby girl is as sweet as candy but lately she's been acting a lil different. Maybe I'm being overdramatic but thats why I'm asking. The thing is shes been acting like a dog... I'm talking barking, running around on all fours, wrestling with our dog and even trying to take its food and water. I ask her what her name is and she calls herself mommies puppy. Any1 else think this is a bit not right? Help please.

Alicia, this is actually more common than you might think. Let her know that during play time it is fine but when it comes to eating it is not. She can not eat his food, or eat the way he does. Try not to make too big a deal of it, just tell her when she can and can't do it. It will pass. It is part of dramatic play and how children learn about the world around them.
