Imagination.

I stopped into Winners today hoping to find a M&D chopping food set (preferably sushi or fruit) but instead left with this block puzzle. Once home, I was excited to play with it with N, but instead she had other plans for it. I was quite surprised that she was able to stack them so high. Actually I'll say I'm surprised she was tall enough to reach the top. I put them on the floor for her, but she just climbed off the chair and put them back on the table.

There were a few tumbles until she final decided that instead of towers she would make a 'plank' for the Milkmaid to walk. It was super funny, Ms. Pirate would kiss the Milkmaid, say goodbye and then walk the Milkmaid off the end of the "plank".

My days of organizing LP to their proper sets have ended, N mixes and matches them to her liking and who am I to quash her imagination by re-organizing all of them? I'll give her this, she has one amazing imagination. Just over the past couple of weeks it's grown by leaps and bounds.

She has the cutest conversations between her Little People. It amazes me to see how involved she gets with them. Having them say "hi" to each other, walk together, kiss (I'm guessing this is from us kissing her so much!) boarding the ship and others rushing to the ship after she's put the ramp up - "No no!!"

When she bores of that she will then bring a one to us and have us play in her little make believe world. I have to say, among all the tantrums and terrible two stuff, little things like this make being a mom all worth it.
