Wk 31: Imagination


(Pick of the week - Imaging they are farmers)
Imagingation is so vivid when you're little. I love watching the stories that unfold between Owen and his "guys" (Josh's old action figures) and dinosaurs or seeing Jesse mimic the sounds of a car or a dinosaur bashing into the ground.

Jesse spends a lot of his time these days imagining that he can talk. There are full conversations held without a single intelligible word being uttered. That being said, if you pay attention long enough (watch out here comes my nerdy linguistic side) his intonation of words is spot on and his receptive language is growing by leaps and bounds.

Our final piece of imagination this week was letting Owen color an imaginary town for his cars. He spent 30 minutes drawing all over the box creating said town for his cars to drive by. We then cut a few "garage" doors into one or two sides of the box and upon it's completion he quickly disappeared to the play room, lost in a world of imaginary play.
