Beginnings of an imagination....

I haven't written much as my spare computer time is being devoted to my blog book (volume 2!). However I have had a bit more time than usual since Paige has taken to playing with her dollhouse and all of her "guys" for hours upon end. Seriously. She will play with her toys for over an hour easily. She makes them walk all over the house, go in a car, drive around, puts them to sleep under little blankets, etc. And she talks constantly the entire time about what she is doing. She doesn't even need me to play with her at all. She will play with me if I get down on the floor and engage in whatever she is doing, although she is perfectly happy to play by herself.

Funny because this kind of play came on so fast. I was just saying to someone 2 weeks ago how she isn't into her toys for more than a few minutes at a time, and now we have taken the leap to hour long play sessions. If she is downstairs she mentions about how she wants to go upstairs to play with her dollhouse. She didn't nap today, and then went straight to the house.

The next big toy we are thinking of investing in (Christmastime) is a Thomas train set. She has one Thomas, but there are tons and tons of things you can get. She has always loved train sets at our classes, and at toy stores, and now that I see how well she can play I am beginning to feel way way better about snowy winter days!

Here is a blurry picture of something I caught her doing the other day with her dollhouse. She told me the baby was in the bath and the mommy and daddy were watching. I thought this was quite smart for her age.
