It's amazing how it seems to come out of nowhere...the next level of change in your growing baby's development. His favorite show is "Bob, the Builder" and so he has, for months, been 'fixing' things with his imaginary screwdriver or hammer. However, in the last few weeks it has changed. Suddenly, he wants to fight with swords, vanquish dragons, shoot the boogie man, etc. Every stick is now a weapon of some sort. The new stage seems to have come from his little band of followers at preschool...because he still is rapt with Bob the Builder at home.
So, I'm driving Jake to preschool this morning and he's in his seat, pointing his little forefinger at me saying "Mommy I'm burning you with fire....shhhh shhhh (fire sound effects) shhhh" I turn to him in mock shock "Honey, don't burn me, that would really hurt me" full of the 'mommy' need to explain the reality of fire to my son. He looks at me like I'm daft and says "It's just pretend fire, Mommy," and pulls out his pretend hose to water me down.
He is way too smart for my own good, lol
