memory monday: we went to the beach today…

…in Caleb’s imagination!  He piled up the couch cushions on the floor to form, what I presume to be, a sand dune.  He climbed on top of it, and pointed down at the sand (carpet).  As I sat folding laundry, he got a bath mat out and dried off from swimming, then I told him to look behind the beach chair-recliner for a beach ball.  So he got his ball and threw it in the sand, then he found a treasure map, and we dug for buried treasure, which ended up usually being “yum-yums.”  Whatever that is.  We drank juice, and milk and chocolate milk, and ate our weight in yum-yums, dug up numerous treasures.  He would say, “come help me dig mom,” and scrape his hands wildly at the floor.  All of this came from his little imagination.  That is really the first time he’s done anything like that.  It was too cute.  I just let him lead the show, to see where he would go with it.

    Awww.

    THAT is adorable. I remember when my son first started using his imagination like that. It’s absolutely wonderful. Nowadays, Pumpkin makes up superhero stories and makes picture books out of those stories.

    Children amaze me. Isn’t it great to see the beginnings of their imagination?
