Animals

Fiona has started pretending to be different animals. She started as a dinosaur--she loves to roar and chase us around the house or down the street.

Over the weekend, she started pretending to be a cat--meowing and crawling down the hall. Yesterday she added a new layer by taking a metal bowl out of the cupboard and pretending to eat out of it, just like Buddy eats out of his bowl.

Actually, a week or two ago we were busy stopping her from playing with Buddy's food (with predictable tantrums), so retrieving her own bowl is definite progress. We do, however, still have a problem with Fiona deciding her toy cat wants to have a drink out of Buddy's water dish. Two steps forward, one step back.
