Motherhood is always having toys on the floor. At least during the waking hours in our home. Yesterday Kennedy pulled out some of her old puzzles, ones she hasn't played with in... years (is that even possible for a four year old?)
All the sudden she was using her shape puzzles to create houses, barns, and aquariums for all of the animal puzzle pieces. I loved hearing her descriptions of each building... "mom this is where the porch is" or "here is the swimming pool."
It's imagination, and creating, and I love being able to get a glimpse of it.
We also got to name all the animals today when they all came to visit me.
Someday there might not be toys on the floor for every waking hour anymore, but right now I am embracing the bright colors that are scattered across the living room and realizing that for Kennedy they are more than just toys on the floor, they are her world, her imagination manifested in physical form. She is a creator. And I think that is just beautiful.
