Grace and Caleb share a lot in common, though that is not an interesting observation. It is an assumption for most brothers and sisters. What really intrigues is their differences. Recently, I have been reminded of a fundamental difference between the two of them; how they play.
Grace is imaginative. Grace could play with her baby for hours on end. Baby needs to be fed, put to bed, and taken to ballet class. If Grace had a ream of paper, she could color for hours on end. Artwork flows when the markers are out. But set her down in front of almost any toy and not much will happen. The only toys she sometimes plays with are Fisher-Price Little People. That is it. We have other toys but they never hold her attention.
Caleb, on the other hand, loves toys. Give him some cars or trains and he can play for days. Set up some toys on the floor and he is ready to play. He even plays with Grace's Sweet Street and might be entertained by her My Little Ponies. He is a toy kid.
Caleb can create plenty of adventures for himself with a simple toy. Grace will do the same with paper or baby. It is one of their striking differences.
