Playing Out Real Life

Sometimes Logan starts reinacting our lives with his toys, and it is HILARIOUS! Yesterday we were playing pirates (thanks again, Kaysha, for all the Lego and Fisher Price pirates). Here's an example of our play:

One pirate was telling another to eat his noodles. I played the part of that pirate (aka Logan in real life).

Me: "But I don't want to neat (eat) them. I don't like them."

Logan: "But you need to eat them. They're healthy for you. Or else you can go to your room. "

Me: "NO!"

Logan: "you need to go to your room. When you're done crying, then we can talk. "

Me: "ok. I'm done crying."

Logan: "Do you know why you're in timeout? Because you said "No." You need to eat you noodles. They're healthy for you.

Me: "I guess I could try them. "

Logan: " Just one bite and if you don't like them, I'll get you something else. "

We've had similar real life reinactments of swim lessons that are also funny. Besides providing the laughs, it's also kind of neat to see that Logan's really listening.
