favorite games

Here is a sampling of the type of imaginative play Jonah has been enjoying (in chronological order from oldest to latest):

- cooking (using real pots, wooden spoons, strainers, and what not)

- driving a bus (that's really our car), taking change from riders (me) and giving them tickets.

- parking and driving his little cars and trucks, especially the latest addition to his collection: the monster truck.

- grocery store (setting groceries and other items on the "cash register," putting them in bags, and running the debit card through.

- skateboarding (running, jumping, and spinning in the air)

- "driving" his uncle's car and pretending it is a digger or tractor.

- "swimming" around on the wooden floor, pretending to be a seal or otter

- collecting garbage and recycling in buckets, then driving it around in his "dump truck," a tricycle on whose handle I hung a round plastic planter.
