A few weeks ago Ericka tacked a big swath of green felt to a wall in our house and "Miki's Farm" was born. We gave her a basket of felt, farm-related cut-outs; a barn, a cow, horse, farmer, tractor, chickens, etc...and let her go at it.
I've been observing over time how Miki initially engages with items, toys, books or whatever and then shys away from them for a time. At first I was disappointed and thought, "well, so much for that, she doesn't like it." However, eventually she goes back to all these "ignored" items, when I assume, her internal time tells her she's ready to manipulate it again. It's interesting and I'm sure it's quite common; perhaps the beginning of the development of a human's affinity for certain hobbies?
