Field and Shedd "Field Trip" Today

 With only one of me and two of you, I got few pictures at the Field today.  So here is the one I got of you crafting it up:

Dominating those fine motor skills

 Onto the Shedd:

Ugh can't wait to get my new camera lens, this would have been way cuter if it were in focus

This one too...

Sliding like a penguin

So here's the thing about this picture.  What is going on behind the shot is amazing.  You and your sister played with these two sisters for over an hour today.  You were the egg or the baby penguin sometimes and then you were the polar bear trying to eat them.  And the amazing part is that you were playing WITH them.  Your knack for social cues and pretending and the give and take of playing in a group is seriously AMAZING to watch.  We stayed so long mostly because I just could not stop watching you and your sister play so perfectly with these two girls.  Your sister was talking tons and right there in the action suggesting things and being very "agressive" (in the good way) with the other two girls and you were right in there.  They weren't coddling you as if they were playing with a baby, they were including you as an equal.  The one pointing was the 6 year old so she was the "leader" and she would give you your "role" and then you would just act it out and commit yourself to this character and it was amazing in the true definition of the word.  Amazing! You two were just smiling, pretending, and running and being blissful children for an hour and I loved every.single.second. of it.
