Make Believe...

Drew has recently begun "pretend play" and it's fabulous. Perhaps the understanding of such play comes from the puppetry we began when Drew was very young. It has since progressed to acting things out with his dinosaurs, animals, and even his bath scrubby. Now Drew does the animal make believe himself! He simulates conversations; he has his animals eating, drinking, and even hugging each other. This play continues with his picnic set as well. He will pretend to cook, eat, and serve Mommy and Daddy. It's so fun to see him fry chicken or pour milk. It seems like such a mature manner of play! And of course, he loves to engage others in this play too. Who wouldn't want to join him...in the world of make believe?!?
