Imagine this!

One thing that I have really loved about motherhood is watching the mind of a child develop day after day. Kyler's imagination is really coming along. He enjoys pretending all the time! Deb has a dress-up bin at her house, and in there is a pair of cat ears. One day, when I went to pick him up, he had those on crawling around on his hands and knees, meowing like a cat. He has done this quite often, but more recently he has pretended to be a dog (crawling around on his hands and knees and panting like a dog) and an elephant (crawling around on his hands and feet trumpeting like an elephant). He really gets a kick out of it and appreciates when we play along! Not only does Kyler like to pretend to be animals, but he has also pretended to feed himself and then even share with mommy and daddy. Sleeping is another one of his make-believe favorites. He has pretended to sleep just about everywhere around the house including the kitchen floor, the bath tub, the couch and even in the closet! My oh my, a child's mind is amazing and it is so fun to watch!
