A1 has a very vivid imagination. At times we have to differentiate between her reality and ours. Her make believe scenarios are very detailed. A few weeks ago she was playing with a particular friend of hers, a boy a few months older than her. The play seemed very intense with a lot of sand and leaves involved. After a while I walked over and asked them what their play was. A1 went into this story about how they were at a hospital that had new born babies and they were using the leaves to make milk for the babies. I asked her friend if that was so and he said "I don't know aunty. That is what she says". So much for that.
A1 has a Mommy animal and Baby animal game that she plays with A2. A2 to his credit plays along. A1 is truly maternal in these role plays and plays perfect Mom to A2.
