Pretending Cole

While 3 seems to be a "challenging" age for a child, it is also a very precious time. A couple of today's pretending moments by Cole:

• Cole turns over his Elmo chair onto its back, sits on his knees behind it, and declares "Does anyone want a ice cream? Can I get you a ice cream??? You want a ice cream (points to the Lightening McQueen bouncy ball to his right, and then gets up and rolls it in front of his "ice cream stand", then returns to his post behind the stand)? What kind of ice cream do you want (said to the bouncy ball of course)? (pause) "Mommy I have to go potty." Cole runs to the bathroom, the ice cream stand game is over.
• In the car today Cole sang a beautiful rendition of London Bridge is Falling Down, picked up his play cellphone, and said "Hello. Cookie Monster? Can I talk to Big Bird?"

Oh what a wonderful imagination he has been blessed with!
