[blparent] gifts

Sat Jan 10 17:51:21 UTC 2009

My daughter started her little people collection at about 8 months old.  at 
first I would sit with her and talk to her about them and make different 
noises.  Like if they were animals I would try to imitate the noise of that 
particular animal, hence a cow goes moo.  Then as she got older about a year 
old she didn't want mommy to play with her anymore and started imitating the 
sounds that I was making with them and making up her own stories and using 
her imagination to create scenarios.  She is 5 now and well she has a great 
imagination and is very creative and comes up with new things for her little 
people to do.  She now even shows her brother about them and shares her 
imagination and creativity to him.
