My youngest son had an immagination that never stopped. He told stories constantly. He could tell a story (lie) to you about something you had seen him do and by the time he was finished, you were questioning what you saw. It took long sessions of comparing the story to the reality to keep him in our plane of existence. But, I never stopped praising the creativity of his stories.<BR/><BR/>He is grown now and has become a gifted writer. I couldn't be prouder of him. He is the author of this blog.<BR/><BR/>So, what do you think? Should we paint these girls with their Daddy's paint brush?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-6720654466565369042009-02-21T19:43:00.000-06:002009-02-21T19:43:00.000-06:00To Anonymous, "aka" Meg, I'm with you.

Alex definitely knew what she was doing.

I do love watching their imaginations at work. There really is no limit to what they can think up. <BR/><BR/>Nikki, I think you hit the nail on the head with Kate trying to control little parts of her world. It's a good thing her world is pretty small right now.Joel Bittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234338506830376036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-11384861796315329352009-02-20T09:50:00.000-06:002009-02-20T09:50:00.000-06:00I found you through Five Star Friday!

I usually make a few stabs at what it might be: "a dinosaur stepping on a plant?" Though it might look pretty close to a dinosaur stepping on a plant, the answer inevitably is: "NO! It's a Stinkbug stinking." Hmmm. I think that 4 year old Nathan likes to hold on to those parts of his life that he can control. Kate probably loves to tell you that the cup is empty because that is something that Daddy does not have much of a say in. Fun to read your thoughts!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16991013263248673956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-50494031526884768422009-02-16T16:33:00.000-06:002009-02-16T16:33:00.000-06:00I would have to say that Clara's creative card pla...I would have to say that Clara's creative card playing is more often refered to as "cheating" not "fantasy" :) This is a little girl that definitely knows how to work the system. <BR/><BR/>Meg (aka Mommy)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
