Just Imagine

Imagine your couch has just turned into a boat. Your oldest son is Jonah and your youngest son is "Dod". (this would be translated to "God" in the English language. But Landon prefers "Dod".") To top it off, you have just become a whale. As Jonah is preparing to make his jump into the cold, tossing sea, "Dod" comes running on the boat bellowing out to Jonah, "Say, I sorry!" Of course, he does like to have a little fun - "Dod" had no problem pushing, umm, helping Jonah into the sea. Later, as Jonah is in the belly of that whale, he prays to God and asks Him to get him out. As I(the whale -yes, I stepped out of character for a brief moment) tells him to say "I will go to Ninevah", Jonah tells me he "forgot that part". Countless times we played this. Along with David and Giant. Have you ever "just imagined" what it's like to be somebody or something else?

Below, Landon must be pretending to be a hairdresser. Funny how the boys loved playing with Morgan's toy at first -New and fun. Now it's old and boring.

Sometimes playing, imagining, and acting can be pretty tough on a big boy like Landon Reese. Here he is at the table eating his lunch...Well, he obviously is finished with lunch and it appears to be nap time! (Actually, all the packing we did just about wore him out. Schedule was crazy!)
