It's hard to hold to that sometimes, especially when they are given gifts from people who love them but don't understand. So far, though, both of them still would rather play pretend or read books. I think there is something innate in children that drives TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777580272114173925.post-82933157672732573922012-01-10T19:01:02.789-08:002012-01-10T19:01:02.789-08:00I think it's wonderful to be a daydreamer :) M...I think it's wonderful to be a daydreamer :) Maybe because I'm one too ;)Jenn and Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207173478938274488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777580272114173925.post-33722713003748134102012-01-10T14:30:01.977-08:002012-01-10T14:30:01.977-08:00I have such great memories of playing.

It's my goal in life to be consciously trying to not squelch my children imaginations. I have to say, Libbie takes the cake -- boy am I glad she exercises it daily. I hope all three don't lose it ---<br />P.S. what grade level is that book? I'm looking for books for Libbie right now.meegzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13793669986106872668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777580272114173925.post-55412664974239653942012-01-10T10:15:42.609-08:002012-01-10T10:15:42.609-08:00Those were the best memories of childhood!
