Playing

Both girls have been managing to have fun despite winter dragging on and on. Annabelle has developed a love for an orange plastic Slinky that her physical therapist brought her. 

Sophie has enjoyed playing in the snow, especially making snow angels, painting on the snow with watercolors, and making a snow pile which she pretends is dog food. Who knew that licking a snow pile and pretending it's dog food could be so entertaining?  I love her imagination!  She has been more independent lately, too. Tonight while I attempted to feed Annabelle some applesauce and Keegan cleaned the kitchen, Sophie produced this picture of our family and her best friend's family.

She drew all the faces and hair and the tree ("It's winter, so it doesn't have any leaves."), and I drew the clothes for her to color in.  I am guessing that she will surpass my artistic ability in about....two weeks.
