Pretend Play

Caden is into pretend-play nowadays.

He pretended to be Moses holding the big rocks of the tenth commandments, David (himself) who fights with Goliath (Mommy, the Nanny, Oma, or Daddy) all the time, or just simply be one of his teachers.

In this picture, he was pretending to be Jonah who was being thrown out from the boat.

When he became David, he will shouted, “I am brave, I am not scared of Goliath…” Then he will take his slingshot (which I made it from my old pointe shoes ribbon) and hit it onto Goliath.

The difficult part is, he insisted that Goliath (who most of the time is Mommy) has to fall down on the ground (just like in his book and DVD) every time he hit him. When he is really into the character, I should pretend to be dead for more than 10 times! Every time I stand up, Caden will hit me again with his slingshot.

I encourage this pretend play for his age. It’s fun for him and it’s could makes him to be a creative person in the future.
