Imagination

When G is tired, I'll often sit in the rocking chair, put my feet up on the footstool, and pat his back while we rock.


Today he set himself up in the kitchen - with his own rocking chair, a "footstool," and a stuffed bear.  He patted the bear's back as he rocked, and informed me: "My baby's taking a nap.  He's tired."

Not only is that the sweetest thing ever (right?), but it also shows how G is understanding more & more about pretend.  Creative, independent play is starting to happen!
