Pots & Pans

Pretend play is so fun! I love for my children to make up fantasy stories and also act out real life possibilities! These stories are usually a good gauge as to what they are absorbing from life! (and me and my actions - scary!) Jack doesn't get as many opportunities to initiate things like this because the other kids are usually one step ahead of him, but the other day he decided he wanted our "pots and pans" basket down. He proceeded to pick up trains and train tracks by himself so he could move onto something else! When he dumped out the "pots and pans" basket, he immediately flipped the basket so he could set the table for a snack for his older brother and sister! They would come check on him and he would say, "it's almost ready." How neat to watch Jack serve his siblings, even if it is pretend play!
