Naomi has recently gotten into pretending to be other things besides a little girl, and Hannah could not be more thrilled. They play all different things. Right now, Naomi is a penguin, and Hannah is helping her toboggan across the floor of the living room.
A common pretend game is also that we're Laura Ingalls Wilder's family. Michael and I are Pa and Ma, Mary is pretend, Hannah is Laura, Naomi is Carrie, and Grace is pretend. Lately, we've been mixing it up a bit, since Naomi likes to pretend to be a dog. If that's the case, then she's Jack, the brindle bulldog. Except that she likes to pretend to be a puppy, so she's Jack, the brindle bullpuppy. Hannah often calls her "bullpup" or "brindle" if she's being Jack. It's quite amusing.
Another recent development is that Naomi likes to pretend to be a train. Specifically, she likes to be Thomas, the baby choo-choo train. She then lets Michael know that he's the daddy train.
Hannah really loves that Naomi is playing pretend games with her, and both girls get very into their games.
