Dear Lili,
I am totally digging your pretend play as of late. Nothing is cooler and more inspiring to me than a kid’s imagination.
There is a lot of fake eating with fake foods and drinking from tea cups in a tin tea set. There is a lot of fake ‘night night’ involving you or your dolls laying on the rug in your room with a pillow and blanket. You are showing tiny hints of interest in dress up – wearing sunglasses and hats around. Tonight you held up a doll blanket that had a little fringe at the end and said, “Dress?” (pause) and then motioned to your pajamas, “Off?”
The best was watching you do something you’ve never done before tonight. You carefully took the pile of plastic toy animals (2 dogs and 2 leopards) and placed them carefully and slowly in a row lining them up and facing out the door of your pretend play house.
It made me laugh because it is SO your personality (and your Dad’s too). Line up the troops. Open that door. And lets go go go!
