Imagination of a Child

It's so fun to watch Katie's imagination blossom. Here are some pictures I have taken over the past couple of months. The stories she tells and the things she comes up with. It's great.

She always needs to be wherever I am. The blue thing is the sink from her play kitchen. It's perfect for giving her babies a bath. Of course we use all of the creams and the lotion.


I'm not sure what the things are around her wrist but they work great for bracelets. She has really been into playdough and paint and glue and coloring. She usually goes through everything in her art box. I know she's finished with one activity when she starts singing the "clean up" song and putting everything away. I hope that lasts. :)

She raided the closet one Sunday. She loves to help me pick out a shirt(since they are on the low rack) and a tie for daddy. She will go into the closet and say,"let's see." (I'm sure that's exactly what she hears me say.) The she says, "that one" and pulls it off the hanger and then repeats with several other shirts.

Sometimes she watches TV with some of her toys. The alligator won today. They are active participants in this activity. She will tell them about the show or ask if they need a drink or just talk about whatever is on her mind. I was too slow with the camera she actually gave the alligator a drink from her sippy. So cute.

A Fairy Garden Party

Katie and her cousin were born 6 six days apart. So, my sister-in-law and I had a little Fairy Garden Party for them. The girls wore tutus and, we couldn't leave the boys out, so they came as Spider Man and Buzz Light Year. We made hats and fruit loop necklaces (the boys made fruit loop trains), danced, played with toys, and had cupcakes.

She loved all of her new toys that she got. I found her playing with her new princess tea set that evening. She matched all of the colors together and somehow she knew to put the cups on the plates. She was pouring everyone water. The sugar bowl became yogurt. Which is weird because she really doesn't like yogurt, I guess pretend yogurt tastes better. :)
