I guess babies just wake up one day and decide they're into Pretend Play. At least that's how it seemed to happen with Jude. He now talks to his plush, drives his toy cars all over town on his carpeted bedroom floor, and feeds pieces of play dough to his plastic farm animals with slurping sound effects for my listening pleasure! It's adorable! Right now I'm in the watch and just-go-along with it stage. I'm sometimes allowed to sneak in a suggestion, but mostly I get to sit back and enjoy his imagination expanding and exploring the possibilities!
Loving every minute of it,
Bubbie and Jude
P.S. Any suggestions on Pretend Play?

Play Dough is a great, calming, sensory activity which helps with hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and increases the attention span for children... and of course entertains this Grandmom to no end. I get to help squeeze, roll, and pat the dough before Jude pours the pieces from one container to the next. I can't wait to graduate to snakes and braids. In the meantime, I'd sure like to figure out an easier way to pick-up the dough from the rug. Any Play-Dough Vacs out there? Let me know if you've got any ideas!
Open for suggestions,
Bubbie
