Play & Pretend Time

This time I just wanted to post some "regular" playtime pictures of Chloe.  It's so much fun to see how her little mind works now that she's pretending.

Chloe is showing off her huge stack of duplos.  She had to get a stool to reach the top.
We had 4 kittens born in our garage the day before Easter and Chloe has been mothering them daily.
We thought this would be a good place for Chloe to hang out - dare devil that she is.
Last night the girls were playing hair salon and Chloe got "hilites" from her sisters.
We had a great day with Alexandria's family from Pittsburgh.  She and Chloe had cribs next to each other in the orphanage and are still buddies.
One of the girls was sick last week and had a nest on the couch.  Chloe thought this looked like a good idea and made one for herself too on the recliner.  She set it all up herself and layed down to play with her Leapster.

     It is a pleasure to share all these normal 2 yr old play ideas.  We don't take "normal" for granted.  I should however add, that there are still many peculiar things thrown in the mix also. One day I had heard the washing machine stop and when I went to put the towels in the dryer, I found Chloe pulling the towels out of the washer and putting them in the dryer.  She then proceeded to empty the lint from the dryer, close the door and turn it to the right setting.  It just makes me shake my head to think what all she notices.  Her lack of trust still motivates her to new levels of independence.  Now that she's older, it just appears in funny places.
