Imagination Overdrive

Kellen's imagination is very much engaged these days. He loves creative play. This evening we played with Tigger and Pooh stuffed toys. Tigger and Pooh ate imaginary honey and went up and down (over and over) an imaginary slide. After bath Kellen insisted on putting on his Alabama elephant costume from Aunt Ellie. He's been dancing around the living room in his costume.

The kids had their dentail checkups earlier this week. They're both doing well as far as no cavities. Kellen has an underbite that will have to be addressed when he gets a little older. Kristin picked a mood ring out of the toy box at the dentist office. Kellen got a wind-up bulldozer.

Kellen is already gearing up for his birthday. Today he told me about a logger crane for the Thomas the Tank Engine tracks that he saw in a store today.

Kristin and I have been reading the Puppy Place series of children's books together. Each book is about a different dog, usually a puppy, that is fostered by the family featured in the series of books. Each dog of course finds a 'forever home' and the end of the story. I think we're both actually learning things about taking care of a dog. It's pretty well settled at this point that we'll get a dog of our own after we find a house to buy. We're not allowed to have one at our current house.
