Imagination

All winter long Isaac has been HUGE into imagination play.  He makes up the strangest, cutiest, and busiest things to pretend to play.  I can not even try to remember all of them.  But today....well today is worth writing about.  No pictures of course because then, well....all play stops.  So I just ask you to use your imagination for the pictures.
Today there were two main games that kept re-surfacing.
The first:
Swimming lessons: Isaac pretended to come to swim class, where his teacher Mary(played by me) would give him instructions and help him learn to swim.  Before he could start class he had to register. Mary asked him for his first and last name and the spelling of his first name.  Yes, Isaac can spell his name!!!  Then Mary asks him for his street name, city and mother's phone number.  Yes, Isaac knows his mommy's cell phone number!!
Now, comes the fun part he pretends to swim, back float, put his face in the water, blow bubbles, jump in the swimming pool,(ball pit) put on his life jacket, play games and kick in the water.  When class is over he would walk over to a wall and say,"Daddy, I did a really great job today."

Let me put a few things into perspective.  Mary was the name of the last swim teacher he had.  The registration part I just wanted to see how much stuff he had remembered from when we were working on this and the ending was because this is what he did after every swim class I persume since Seth normally took him.

The Second:
Isaac called this second game bunny video game.  I was to act as if I had a remote controller to play a video game and I had to actually act like i was hitting buttons.  Addy and him were then the bunnies and they would run crazy, jump, fall down in the ball pit.  Then I had to tell them what to do.  For example...Time to dig for carrots, time to nap,time for school, time to go to bed.....They had actions and were running all over the basement to act all of these and many many more out.  Keep in mind if I didn't continue acting like I was controlling them the bunnies would yell at me.  Lastly, when the bunnies were tired they removed my batteries so I could not control them anymore.

At the end of this game both Addy and Isaac were red in the face, sweating and ready to collapse.  They did lap after lap in the basement, crawling over things, under things, through things, hopping like crazy because that is what bunnies do.  It was so cute and so funny to watch them.  I wish I had it all on tape but decided I better feed them supper so I could quick write it down before I forgot too many details.

Oh, and these two games went on FOREVER!  They played these soooooo much!!

Remember use your imaginations, picture their little faces and the excitment level of children on Christmas and you will have a good idea of how much fun these two had playing with their imaginations today!!
