The Imagination of a Child!!!

So I wanted to share this amazing moment I had with Sully today.

I will first start by saying Ryan got this little remote control toy helicopter for Christmas that Sully has been dieing to get his hands on but has yet to do because it will break and is a little too complicated for him. So when it comes to the actual toy Sully has settled for watching daddy play with it and he helps by picking it up and setting it up right so that Ry can fly off again after a crash landing.

Anyway my moment of awe today came when Sully got out his legos to play, typical thing for him to do during the day, dump them all on my floor, make a mess, play a little, and then move on. Well today was a little different, Sully built him and I remotes out of his legos. I was a little lost a first then realized what he was doing after a minute of watching. He was making a buzzing noise and staring up at the ceiling, all the while playing with his "remote." He was pretending he was flying a plane just like daddy's! I was amazed it was soo adorable. His plane crashed and he went and very carefully set it up right and went right on playing. I started to play with him and at one point my plane "crashed" so Sully very gently picked it up and went to the dining room table and proceeded to "fix" my broken plane. Once done he brought it back and proclaimed that it was, "Fixed!!!" so I could continue my playing. Once again sending me into amazement at watching him. Then our next hurdle came when he "lost" his plane lol. This upset him very much so he got on his cell phone (also pretend) and called his dad. He dialed -beep-beep-beep and called and talked to his dad for all of a minute so upset at his loss. Then at the end of the "call" he said, "Ok Dad!" Very happy about something then he went behind his sister's exersaucer and "found" the plane. "I found it," he exclaimed! I couldn't believe it.

We continued our playing for a good thirty minutes more before he was bored of it but it just set me in awe and shock. He has never shown that much imagination before and it was just so neat to see. You hear about a child's mind and how fascinating it is and even though at one point you had that same imagination its so hard to believe, until you get to watch your own child and their imagination. So pure, and innocent, and amazing. I loved every minute of it and it just makes me that much happier and thankful for my kids. So the next time your child has an awesome moment cherish it and love every minute of it because they won't stay that way forever, and someday you will have to be the one to remind them f that amazing imagination they once had.
