Imagination

Aaron has a strong imagination.

For many months now he has imagined and told me what Papa would say or do in certain situations.

About 5 months ago Aaron started watching the trees as we drove and telling me he saw toddlers in them sitting on the branches. That they had climbed high and that they had better be careful so they wouldn't fall.

Tonight when picking out his pajamas he chose the ones with bulldogs and frogs on them. He pretended to catch a frog in his hand. He kept it carefully closed in his fist and then caught another one. So with his two hands occupied he could not choose his books for story time. He gestured at his choices, "no open uh hands uh frogs hop away!".

By the time daddy and Aaron were done with stories Aaron had added two blue birds to his hands. He couldn't hold his milk or the remote to turn off his light (a nightly routine). We suggested he put the creatures to sleep in the closet. Which he did. Very carefully.

A strong imagination.
