Our friends Kate and Rob came over for supper last night. Kate was cleaning out junk from her basement and brought a box of stuff for the kids. It included a giant pop-out book of an Edwardian house. While Simon was napping, Alice played with it for a lot longer than I expected. She especially liked taking the paper dolls up the stairs, although she was frustrated that mom doll did not fit up the stairs very well.
Alice's imagination is taking off and so she is quite good at playing now. She's still pretty high maintenance sometimes, but when she gets into something, she can be engrossed for a while.
