Breakfast in Bed

The boys want to do everything grownups do, or at least they are beginning to pretend to do those activities. Their imaginations are really developing at this stage, and they are pretending to do household tasks. For this reason, Mommy has begun introducing toys that teach domestic behavior.  A most recent addition is toy dishes. They have been around our toy closet for some time, but the boys have only recently shown interest. These dishes probably date back to Aunt Kristin or possibly before. Sandy recently purchased plastic food to serve on the dishes. They boys are learning how to cook, serve, set the table, stack and store the dishes, similar to the way Mommy and Daddy do downstairs. Of course, once they can do this for real, they’ll lose interest and want to dine out, but that’s another blog.
