Pretend Play

So we are back!  It has been a while since I have added a new post (there is still so much catching up to do--mainly to show off some pictures), and I realized with a sister out of the country, I should get back into it.  That and she & I have a bet going on to see who will add the next post their blog, and I think I am going to win! 

It has been so much fun seeing Lachlan develop into a sweet little boy.  He is becoming quite the story teller-especially at bed time...hmmm...  But he has also developed in his play.  We went to the zoo with some friends, and I saw a whole new side of him-pretend play.  First, we saw some animals.  This monkey was a hit, until he used the glass as a jumping board and went freaking around his area a bit.  Torin was not a big fan.



After some of the animals, we decided to go to the play area that has a bee theme.  They had such a fun time!

First Lachlan checked out the flowers.

Then the grass.

Then he decided to BECOME a bee.
Torin enjoyed 'being a bee' as well, even though he just thought he was running around with wings on.



This was one of the first, if not THE first time I ever saw him become something else.  It was so special to see.  He was chasing after friends and 'other bees', buzzing and trying to catch them.  For some reason, I got a bit teary-eyed watching my little boy pretend he is something he is not.  I got to witness a step in his progress of play.  I was very grateful and very entertained watching all the kiddos enjoying themselves and playing together.  Good job, my little bee!  Way to buzz your way right into my heart!  (sorry, I couldn't resist!)



PS Thank you to Jessica for the pictures!
PPS Mary, I would like an Italian Cabernet Sauvignon, or a red Italian wine recommended by a local-thank you!  : )

Love ya, mean it
