My kids are a source of never-ending entertainment in our house. Way back in September I talked to you about our "bees" and how my girls are so creative in their pretend world. They both have wonderful imaginations.
My youngest, however, seems to do a whole lot more along the story-telling side of her creative play. Her dolls, her bees, or whatever she happens to be playing with have all kinds of adventures, and interact with each other in very dramatic ways... voices included.
Last week, my girls were at the table coloring and chatting like crazy. At one point I tuned into what was being talked about and realized that as my youngest was pulling colored pencils out of the case, she was giving them names and voices and was talking to each of them. Here is an example:
Youngest: "Hi Loletta, will you color for me?"
Pencil: "Yes, I'd be happy to."
Youngest: "Oh, that color is very pretty. You make a good flower."
Pencil: "Why thank you."
Who needs TV and video games when everything around you can take on a name and personality. I won't start worrying until they show signs of losing sight of reality. But then again... maybe not.
