I was thinking the other day that I don't remember Chase playing with his toys the same way that Audrey does at this age. She is very creative with her play and really plays "appropriately" with her barbies (not talking about the lack of clothes here, clothes are apparently optional in Audrey's barbie world). Rather, she talks for them, they play in their house, on their horses, etc. However, as I am writing this, I have visions of little Chase playing with his cars for hours on end. Around and around the house they would zoom, always racing or lining up on the ottoman. Really, his make believe was just as authentic as Audrey's is. It's just that I wasn't relating as well to his play. It's easy for me to see the world through Audrey's eyes because she's a girl and plays with the same girly things that I once played with. I hear her stories with her barbies and I can "see" her make believe. I guess I just had a harder time sharing Chase's world of race tracks and finish lines. Makes me kind of sad actually, I really miss those cars lined up all over the house :(.
