Camilla at her physical therapist's office. Lately, she's been really enjoying her sessions with Janet and her Occupational Therapist, Gwen. Even though she's been going to the same place for almost three years now, lately it appears that she's coming into her own and really starting to explore the space and all the toys within it.

Play is such an important component in a child's development and although Camilla is no stranger to it, she is showing that she is reaching a new level of play that is more sophisticated. She is engaging in play that is deeper and longer lasting, letting her own creativity take shape and applying more imagination in what she's doing. A more engaged type of play involving the imagination is very important in how a child makes sense of the world. It's a foundation to relating with others, problem solving, as well as many other applications. Watching Camilla play provides another peek into how she sees and moves about in the world.

A tiger and a little monster

"Oh, I'd like to see my eyes closed, Mommy."

Camilla has been requesting to see her eyes closed, so I agreed to take a picture of her with her eyes closed and showed it to her. It's interesting how fascinated she has become with seeing herself with her eyes closed.

A couple of weeks ago, we attended the annual UCSF ICN Reunion.
Camilla dressed up as The Cat In the Hat.

And Thomas dressed up as a little monster.

We had a good time introducing Thomas to Camilla's doctors and nurses. They were delighted to see how healthy both kids are.

Hi, Boy!

Little Monster

From the look on Thomas's face, it seems like he's thinking, "What are you looking at, Camilla?"

Bath time


No, wait, Camilla. Don't take Thomas's little towel. He needs that.

Who could say 'no' to that?

Cleansing process completed

Hello, hands!
