This morning as I was making the bed and John was walking in circles throughout the room, he burst forth with this story, spoken clearly and without halting.
"Once there was a little monkey named Curious George. He was a good little monkey. But he was always very curious. One day Curious George had a feeling in his body. He ran to the potty. He went pee-pee in the potty! The man in the yellow hat was so proud of him. And he got a dump truck."
(A dump truck was the latest Matchbox car John picked out as a prize for his big accomplishment.)
I am fascinated to see that John can now cast himself inside another story, imagining himself as Curious George and his parent as The Man With the Yellow Hat. The child's brain develops in leaps and bounds!
That's a new one... a "dump truck" as a reward for using the potty. I can't stop chuckling. lol
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting on many levels! Isn't it amazing what they can do and say?
