Morning Playtime

This is a common scene in the morning after breakfast. Marie plays with her toys under the ever watchful eye of Pippin. Sometimes he ventures down on the floor to get closer to the action, but he just likes to sit and watch her play.

Marie is investigating a train car on the toy train that she has. This train is her favorite toy. Not only does she like the lights and music on the engine, she likes the extra train car and the animals that go along with it. It is somewhat of a mystery to me, though. When we first got to Juneau, there was a counter full of food. And then there was this brand new toy train. There was no card, so I don't know who it was from. But one thing is certain, that toy train has kept Marie's attention for hours while I've been able to do other things (like write this blog!).

No, Marie is not trying to pick out a CD to play in the stereo. She has discovered her reflection in the glass doors on the cabinet. It reminds me of how Anne, in Anne of Green Gables, talks to her imaginary friend Katie from her reflection in a window.

It's funny to watch Marie play. Lately she has started to hold toys with her feet and play with them with her hands. She is silly girl!
