  • My first born---Limi
    Two-and-a-half-year-old girl
    She's setting the table for the dolls to eat
  • Preparing lunch for Mom
    We're having Japanese ramen today
    There are noodles, vegetables, meat, eggs
  • With chopsticks and a bowl
  • "Mom, please try it. Is it good?"
  • My little girl---E
    11 months old
    As a mom, I'm always fascinated by the milestones my baby reaches. But when my 11-month-old daughter started engaging in pretend play, as early as this age, I was truly amazed. It's a sign of her cognitive and emotional development, and it's been a joy to watch her imagination take flight.
  • Have a taste
    She stirred in the bowl for a while, then brought a fork to eat
    I thought she was going to eat a fork, but instead, she just put it in her mouth, pretended it tasted good, and smiled at me.
  • As my daughter continues to grow and develop, I'm sure her pretend play will become even more elaborate and complex. But even at this early stage, it's been a joy to witness the spark of imagination and creativity that she possesses. Role play is not just a game; it's a window into a child's soul, and I'm grateful to be able to peek through it and see the beauty of my daughter's inner world.
