A day home with Imani

This little girl is a whirlwind, from the moment her feet hit the floor she is off and running, full of her own ideas and projects,absorbed and ecstatic when things work out, frustrated and howling when her physical capacity cannot correspond to her vision. 
THIS PICTURE, born completely out of the originality of her little mind, really astounded me when i first glimpsed it on her easel, thankfully i managed a quick photo before it was swiftly erased and replaced by another.
her playroom during intense play sessions, and thats what its meant for!
taking a break to read my childhood copy of on the shores of silver lake 
(mostly because the picture on the cover of Laura, racing wild and bareback, with her hair blowing in the wind, utterly fascinates her)
oh, just another 3 foot tall paper doll, this one's mouth talks, like a puppet
by pulling the string in the back, how clever, I personally would like to own her floral print pencil skirt
this became a project of many hours, making a teepee, where she and her little brother read books and played with their dolls, it was adorable
and then there are fairy gardens, and rock gardens, and shell gardens being built

This was all in one day, all I can do is catch her sometimes, feed her a hot lunch, and rub her feet at night to try and pull her into her body.
Now who does that remind me of? ( ahem, yours truly)
That's a triple Gemini for you!
And I am so glad to have her.
Happy Tuesday
