While cleaning up from breakfast, I overheard John narrating a lengthy imaginative game to himself. Then he ran in to tell me: "Mama! I dropped my phone in the big ocean and an alligator snapped it up in his mouth. [alligator snapping sounds] I should not drop my phone in the ocean so I don't lose it."
It was one of "those moments" for me. I know moms with older children see their imagination all the time, but I am witnessing the birth of imagination in my firstborn and it's just amazing. I bet that my first-time mom friends who currently have one-year-olds can envision how mind-blowing it will be the first time they see their children invent an interesting story all by themselves. This is so neat to watch!
