Play…..

I love play when it is at its best…spontaneous and full of imagination.  Today River played “chef” for about 2 hours…..She brought me every meal imaginable.  When Tuesday and Quinn got home she carried them meal after meal to their rooms.  She not only did delivery, but cleaned up after every meal. She kept saying how tiring it was to be a chef.  It is this type of play that I like best..it isn’t planned.  It just happens and it seems to engulf her and take over.  She becomes so engrossed in it that she loses track of time…….She has to take out every item in her kitchen and examine it as though she has never seen it before.  Everything becomes so exciting and full of potential…she had a great afternoon….just playing…..
