Play

What a thrill to watch these two play! It changes everyday and I am trying to learn when to stay out of it and when to join in.  Typically, if I don't hear any sound happening I feel the need to check in as that can mean they are up to no good (ie: coloring walls/furniture, climbing to the highest height of living room, or  eating something non edible!). Another cause for getting a visual is screeching loud cries out, usually from Starlight, given she has not acquired her language yet for full articulation for responding to Rainbow. But boy oh boy when she does!
The two have a plethora of toys and activities for  lots of imaginative play. Examples: different sized dolls, books, puzzles, things to draw on and with, stickers, instruments, dress up, farm, trucks, cars, blocks, kitchen complete with groceries and cart and a super fun activity to clean up after... play doh!
When all of this is out at once, I try to not start putting stuff away until I feel the lull. Yesterday, we had two different play dates .
I adore watching what that looks like!
My favorite moment though was when Rainbow and her girlfriend were playing with the shopping carts and dress up clothes and Starlight was following them and  it were as if they were young teens as they remarked "she is following us, run!"
Of course in the end she joined right in the game and no harm was done!
I never had a sister, (though my brother is the best!) so watching this relationship unveil is really awesome in every way!
