Susanna has been engaging in pretend play for a while now, doing things such as drinking out of empty cups and then saying "mmm," but this week she began putting stuffed animals to bed in an overturned ottoman. This seems like it should represent a great cognitive leap forward but it is at the very least quite cute. After placing them however awkwardly in the "crib" she usually puts some kind of blanket on them and then affectionately pats them and says "bye-bye," which is what she says to us when she goes to bed. It's true, she stacks the animals on top of each other and the blanket ends up who knows where (and she tried to climb in with them herself once) but this care she exhibits for them is absolutely adorable, in my impartial opinion.
A family-- a cycling scientist, a crazy little girl, a happy toddler, and me-- navigating the exciting, sometimes difficult, but most of all wonderful adventure that is life.
