Imaginary Play and Dress Up

Samuel seems to have hit another developmental milestone. He has really begun to engage in imaginary play on a consistent basis, both by himself, with Shira and with other kids. On Monday, Samuel and Lillian played on a boat and surfed in the water. Yesterday Shira and Samuel were running away from sharks, and today Samuel was helping Winnie the Pooh drive a train. I'd give more examples and details, but it's pretty difficult to follow most of the time. Also incredibly adorable. Especially when Samuel leads Shira around the house, asking her if she wants to play along, and telling her what is happening.

Shira is working on taking care of her dolls and I think she will be getting herself dressed and undressed on her own in no time. It will be nice when she is able to put on and take off her own socks and shoes, so that she doesn't need our help for her multiple costume changes.
