It’s great to be able to watch a child grow and develop. Great and terrible at the same time actually. MDF is starting to be able to think abstractly, in the sense that she has started to think about imaginary things. This is great when she plays house, or wants to “be sharks!” But not good when she’s scared of monsters at bed-time. I still remember being scared when I was little and I was hoping that MDF wouldn’t have to go through that, but I guess it is something every child has to deal with.
Yesterday CDF sent me an instant message right after MDF woke up from her nap which illustrates much of the above.
