It's interesting to me to see the differences between the girls when they use their imagination. Ellie focuses a lot of her attention on what's actually "possible" and just plays along. Addie, on the other hand actually BELIEVES. Take, for example, talking to the girls with a hand puppet monkey... Ellie will talk to the person whose hand is moving the monkey. Addie, on the other hand, will talk directly to the monkey. If Monkey asks (in a squeaky voice of course - Mommy's talents are very limited) for a high-five, Addie will give Monkey's little hand a high-five. Ask the same thing of Ellie and Monkey gets a slap in the face. Literally.
It has always been that way. Isn't that interesting?
As such Monkey's conversation with Addie lasted a bit longer...
Addie: Um, Monkey, do you want to taste my lollipop?
Monkey: No thank you. I don't want to get sticky.
Addie: Monkey, guess what?
Monkey: What?
Addie: I'm a real fairy!
Monkey: You're a real fairy?
Addie: Yeah and I don't have any pants!
