Imagination

The girls imaginations are running full tilt. The games they play expose their creativity and fancy. Whipping up entire meals in their kitchen invisible courses of pasta, salad, tea and plenty of cookies make the rounds. The pictures they draw take the form of every kind of animal from snakes to giraffes to octopus. They play doctor taking our temperature and using a stethoscope (a word they pronounce surprisingly well) listen to our hearts. It's non-stop play in the May household.

I have to say that twins are undeniably the way to go. The house is constantly enveloped by little girl giggles as they wind their way through the toys and furniture making up games and expressing their joy with loud laughter. The level they share and cooperate is utterly amazing. One can draw on the chalkboard while the other one erases, and usually not until a few please and thank yous are exchanged. Soon the roles reverse.

Here they are loving their new umbrellas. Shouting out "It's raining", they hoist their umbrellas over their heads to stay dry. Then suddenly the sun comes out as cries of, "It's sunny" are followed by dropping their umbrellas to the ground. These girls are fun.
