imaginative play

Tonight, dd made pretend tea with pretend baby mush to feed ab. Ab ate with enthusiasm and dd was quite impressed with herself. Ab was wondering why there was no real food on the spoon but kept opening her mouth for every pretend spoonful. They love each other so much. It was a nice moment of quiet peace in a house where everyone is trying to recover from some bug or another.
As I type this, ab is WIDE awake, happily so, and has no interest whatsoever in sleeping. I'm giving her 15 more minutes of play and then it is off to beddy-bye.
