Lately, Elena has been very into imaginative play with invisible objects (as opposed to imagining that her stuffed bear needs to be fed or whatnot). She will reach her hand into something (her pocket, a bag, etc.) and pull out an invisible Something. She hands it to me (or whoever) and says, "Want it?"
"Sure! What is it?"
Her answers have ranged from various foods (carrots, asparagus, ice cream... after which she'll ask, "Like it? Yummy? Very tasty?") to "Ladybug!" to, lately, "Present! Open it!"
Often, when I open the present, it's a book. She asks me to read it and I make up a story or imagine some pictures and talk about them. Just this morning, I opened her present and asked her what it was. She said, "Bible! Read it?"
Nothing like a two-year-old to test your scripture memorization.
