1. is for the BIG Imagination you have....

We have always been big on encouraging  Moo moo to have a big imagination and right now at 2.5yrs her two favourite things to do is act like a dog, especially mimicking our family dog Coco and dancing around the house like Mumble from Happy Feet.

Acting like a puppy dog has it's moments, she licks the floor, licks us, pants and woofs. Oh and yesterday Moo moo added Dorothy the dinosaurs tail so she would be more like a dog, classic!
We try and take a step back to see the funny side to this but we can't handle the licking.We try to reassure ourselves that her immune will only get stronger by licking up all those germs.

Moo moo dancing like Happy Feet is absolutely hilarious to watch, especially when you look at her face and see the concentration. That's her new way of getting around the house (it's a type of shuffling but to her it's dancing), who are we to argue. It's just too cute.

Another example of how big her imagination is, is when on a cloudy and grey day she can manage to see cloud animals. Our adult eyes cannot make them out only because it's complete cloud cover but we go along with her. We love feeding her IMAGINATION and brings out our inner child too.



Does your child love to role play and have a big Imagination?

As a child my older sister (LRS) and I had very big imaginations. We would pretend we were contestants in the TV show Double Dare and create an entire obstacle course in our backyard, we would pretend our beds were boats in a sea of water with sharks swimming around and I would always wonder what it would be like to fly (lucky for my mama I never tried to). 

At 2.5yrs her imagination is so big we cannot wait to see what else she comes up with.

I leave you with the wise words of Albert Einstein.“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
