Play is always learning...

Imitation is not only a form of flattery but a huge education. A child's play is their process for growing and learning about our actions and behavior. If nothing else we should be kind and loving to everyone for their sake. It is also so important for us to notice every little move they make to best assist their play. AJ and I had the best entertainment the other day at lunch when Sam turned her orange slice into a car, as noted by the driving motion and vroom sounds. She thought it was hilarious when the car dove off the cliff (or table in this case).

On another note:
I made tuna salad w/ fennel seeds, sauteed spinach, and cheese slices for dinner last night, it was delicious. I purchased some Coconut oil the other day to incorporate as a cooking oil. It worked especially well for the spinach with a little butter and salt. The best part was how evenly it cooked in the pan and I didn't have to work as hard to keep the spinach from being too hot or cold. Plus it is VERY healthy!!!!
