Pretend Play

I keep meaning to blog about this, and then I forgot to actually sit down and put pen to paper (or fingers to keys?).  For a couple months now, Miles and Vivienne's play has taken on a new dimension:  a lot more pretend play.  For example, they will play with their little firemen driving their firetrucks, and then the little firemen will climb up the ladder onto the couch and save the day.  Or Vivienne will tie a little rope to one of the banisters and pretend to climb it, exclaiming,"I'm coming to save you, Baby Jaguar!" (from Diego).  When the kids are going down for their naps, I can hear Vivienne in her room, playing with her stuffed animals, singing them songs and telling them stories.  It's all really adorable, and it is fun to watch their play evolve.
