Solly has begun pretending. Today he brought me some duplo and told me it was cake. I “ate” the “cake” for a couple of minutes, marvelling at how delicious it was, and I suggested he offer some to Brady.
Me: I bet daddy would like to try some. He loves cake.
Solly: Ok! (gathers his cake and “spoon” (Barbie hairbrush) and headed to the kitchen) Daddyyyyy!
Brady: Yes Solly?
Solly: Have a bite!
Brady: A bite of what?
Solly: A bit in the mouth!
Brady: What am I eating, Solly?
Solly: (incomprehensible babble)
Brady: (stares)
Solly: (stares) IT’S CAKE!
Not only is Solly talking more and more, but he’s pretending so much, and its SO fun! Once he was finished with his game of serving us cake, he switched gears and travelled to the “sea park,” which usually means doing laps from the living room, to under the dining room table. He likes to pretend to clean, and to play guitar. His games are just so innocent and sweet. I feel like all of my kids started pretending with food. Anyone else?
