Imagination

The past week Ava has brought home some imaginary friends. It all started a few weeks ago when she started talking about Buddy the horse. She used her small stepping stool as Buddy. This week she has been spending time with Cinderella, "Twinker Bell" (AKA-Tinker Bell), and the Seven Dwarfs. A few nights Cinderella and Tinker Bell helped Ava fall asleep and once they made her feel better after a big, crying, fit. The Seven Dwarfs have just been hanging out and watched a movie with Ava. A few days they all joined us for lunch.

It has been so much fun watching and hearing Ava's imagination grow. She makes her friends food, plays with them, and even had me help some of the dwarfs go to the bathroom. It has been pretty amusing and exciting waiting to see what Ava will do next with her friends. It has also been fun playing along and using my imagination too.

This is Ava watching a movie with the Seven Dwarfs. You might not see them, but Ava assured me they were sitting right next to her.

That is my favorite! It is a good way to learn about what is going on in her head. Sounds like she is really good at sharing.
