Zoe and I like to play in the evenings. Sometimes it involves me throwing her into the air so many times I lose my breath.
Sometimes it involves color crayons and many reminder of where we color.
Other times it's bonding while we watch another episode of Tigger and Pooh and sing along to all the songs.
Last night it was playing in her kitchen. We have a bin of dishes that we make wonderful, make-believe meals. After every pretend bite, Zoe makes an "mmmm" sound. Like the soup we made from the stirring the bear toy around in the bowl and pretending to squirt a little mustard in is thee absolute best tasting food ev-ar.
Let's face it, what would be better than a little bear meat with some mustard. Really?
What I love most about our play time is how much she's learning. She colors better now. She pats her baby's back and then wraps her in a blanket. She will even pull out a book and read it to me. She's becoming so much more communicative and sweet. I see more of her personality coming out each day. I fall more in love with her each day.
It was especially exciting last night when she pulled the pig toy out of the dishes, held it up and said, "pig."
This is the first time she's identified something on her own without just repeating what I said. I LOVE watching her learn. It is incredibly exciting.
