Play Time

Keeping B busy has been a bit easier these days. Her imagination is growing so much. She likes to pretend that her friends are coming to visit and invites them into her toy room to sit with her at her table. Their names are always different and they are invisible, so I am never quite sure what they are doing. It has been very helpful in her playing by herself a bit more, especially with the baby coming.

We have also tried doing some other activities, at least when Daddy is home (I can't always help her as much as she needs).

B riding her bike in the street. This is the first time we have actually taken it outside. She didn't like it as much as we were hoping. The pedaling is difficult when it gets to the point she has to switch the foot that is pushing, and she gets easily frustrated by that. We thought trying it outside would help since she could go straight for a while. I'm sure she will want to try again soon.

B also really loves music, so she sits down at her toy piano and makes up songs (and words). She wants Mommy and Daddy to sing along, but we never know what the words actually are. I'm glad that she is creative and enjoys music. Maybe someday she will develop some musical skills.
