Levi's pretend play
Levi began pretend play a couple months ago. In order to keep himself from fall asleep at bedtime he would sit and pretend to eat food. He picks up the food from one spot and pretends to eat it, comes back chewing and says yum! Then he says Eat! And goes back for more. Such a silly dickens!
Right now he is pretending to play tea party and kaylee and he are actually playing pretty well together, other thn they want the same spoon and the same tea pot...etc! Anyways, it's cute to see his imagination develop and his interests expand. He has a good attention span, and is currently listening intently to his sisters dialogueing to find out how and if he can play along. We are working with each on the way they treat one another and drawing boundaries between what's ok and what's not. Kaylee has somewhat been reflecting on the idea of how she would want to be treated, and treating him that way. Ahh, the good old golden rule...Let's just say there's lots of time outs and warnings, and joint timeouts. But it seems to make a difference because the harder we work the more periods of peace there are...the peace has to be monitored and maintained of course...anyone with more than 1 or from a family with siblings understands what I mean...
