Talk about Pretend Play!

Little Bug has been on a Toy Story kick recently. One of the parts that he finds the most amusing is when Buzz is made to wear and apron and a hat and has a tea party. Recently, he decided that this would be a fun thing to do with his Sharks- Blue and Bull.

He set up his Lightening McQueen table and chairs- making sure that the chairs we opposite so that Blue and Bull could sit facing each other. He gathered his plastic dishes from the kitchen so that he could serve the food. The food he cooked was his cut up veggie set that had been lovingly cooked into a soup in a colander.


He gathered his guests around that table and passed out food. They took turns telling him how tasty the food was and asking how he was doing.


Nick and I stood and watched with our jaws hanging open. He only other version of pretend play is driving cars and trains around or making his sharks and fish swim. This was so far beyond what we thought he could do.


He wasn’t done.


After the sharks were done eating, they had to go home. He disabled the table and put the soup away and then put the chairs in a line. At the front of the line, he put the stairs to his bed. “A bus!” The sharks rode the bus home- all the time telling Little Bug that they had fun and would see him soon.
