Imagination

I believe I mentioned in my last post that Bear has a vivid imagination right now. He has invented 2 somewhat imaginary friends... a giant and a dinosaur. Neither have names other than"the giant" and "the dinosaur."

If any of you are familiar with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, there is a giant that appears on the show somewhat regularly. We were watching one day and apparently, when he climbed back up the beanstalk, he really climbed up the tree you visualize out our front door and promptly came down to reside in our home. He enjoys playing ball, climbing up and down the tree, and sleeping at present.

The dinosaur appeared after we got a dinosaur in a McDonald's Happy Meal. Not quite sure how it translated into living in our house, but his favorite activity is being "stuck" in various rooms and places that Barrett requires someone else's assistance to get him out.

Barrett also enjoys playing pretend baseball and pretend fishing (both are favorite real activities right now too!). These have kept him entertained while I feed Jace--very helpful.

He also likes to pretend to make you dinner and dessert or go shopping for you. Oh, to imagination!!!
