One story from the week: On Wednesday morning, Emily's did AMAZING playing independently. I was trying to prepare dinner for the evening, baking bread, and doing some light cleaning while Christian napped. Normally, I don't get more than 5 solid minutes to any one task (let alone three) as Emily prefers that I play with her instead of by herself. However, she got busy with her princesses and new library books (not reading them, but making a house for the princesses out of them) and played for almost a 1/2 hour. I finished everything I needed to do in that time and then we were able to play with playdoh together before Christian woke up. It felt so good to see her using her imagination so independently (and for me to be able complete a task all at once!)
I also just wanted to post these pictures of the kids snuggling and giggling together. They're really such cute friends...I hope it lasts!
