Eva is very creative and loves to draw pictures or make cards. She’s very detail oriented, wanting me to tell her exactly what certain animals eat so she can depict it correctly, or how to spell a word (though sometimes she guesses). When the girls watch a movie, they like to act it out at the same time, and Eva plays director. Sometimes they use their little toy animals (dinosaurs for “Land Before Time”, or dogs for “Balto”), but many times they play the parts of the characters themselves.
Amanda always carries a toy animal with her wherever she goes. It rotates by the day – mouse, frog, lion, etc. – but it’s always something. We’re slowly building a collection of Schleichs, and whenever we go over to a friend’s house she immediately wants to play with whatever animals we don’t already have at home.
Bethany loves to cuddle, so she tends to gravitate towards a toy doll our neighbor gave us that has a freakishly enormous head. Not sure why she picks that one, but it appears to be her favorite. She also loves music and will want me to put on a sing-along DVD about a dozen times a day, like Mary Rice Hopkins or Cedermont Kids. These past two weeks when everyone was sick I quickly got tired of them, but Bethany still wants to hear them over and over.
