Today we went looking for the Museum of Natural History, before we went inside I told Maikale that we were going to see animals, but that they were no longer alive and were just pretend. We practiced saying the word pretend together and each time we said it I would smile really big. I was hoping that she would be able to make the connection between pretend and my smile, so she would not be scared. We started off really slowly looking at the animals and I would point to them and smile really big and say pretend, and then tell her the animal name and the sound that each animal makes. She tried mimicking the names of the animals and sounds that they made. We walked slowly around talking about each animal two times. At first Maikale was hesitant to touch the fur, but with a smile and the word pretend she reached foreword and touched the fur. She touched the fur and we talked about the texture of the fur.
