Imagination Play

10/7/09: Miles has a new friend named “Witch”. Miles says when she "comes home" Miles and she will "play blocks" and she will "eat his oatmeal". Miles also has a “big, BIG, BIG! tattoo of a monster” on his back, he says. Funny, I never noticed it.

Imagination play is coming on strong over the past week. I think that Halloween is pushing him, considering how much imagination is needed to make the leap into the season. This year has been a blast decorating the house and putting on wigs, wings, and hats from years past. We have spiders, real, imagined and rubber all over the house. Yesterday, I went to Target for pumpkin LED lights, more spiders and webs.



If all goes as planned, we’ll be robots from space this year. I’m still putting the costumes together in my mind. I’m not sure if spray paint and cardboard boxes will be used or if we will be more organic robots from space. Since I’ve never really seen one, the sky’s the limit. I prefer homemade costumes to the store bought ones. I think half the fun is making the costume. I’ll be sure to post pictures when it finally comes together.

Miles really does put the magic and fun into everything.
