The kids have been enjoying lots of free time, relaxed time, with no preschool and plenty of summery days when we are in no rush to be anywhere. As such, just after breakfast time now becomes a time for them to run about and do whatever they want to.
Boo has a wonderful imagination and loves making up stories and acting them out. The other day the pair of them played for quite some time at ‘holidays’ The living room became a caravan, which the poor dog was banned from (I had to intervene there and allow him in!) and the kitchen was the aeroplane. They’ve never been on an aeroplane, but maybe because Daddy had to fly to work earlier in the week, it was on Boo’s mind. They took luggage with them and here they are having their snack on it!
It’s so lovely to see them doing things like this. I can see how much my gorgeous Little Man is growing up, as he becomes totally engrossed in the game, too. And they remind me so much of my brother and I when we were young. It fills me with love as I find it all so totally endearing, pride that they get along so well, and excitement for them, as I know how great my childhood was with my little sidekick around!
Love the caravan game – it looks a bit like the bus game I used to play as a child. Don’t think H has ever done it. *starts plotting*
He’s missing out! Yep, plot away!
For not having been on a plane, they’ve got the legroom about right!
That made me laugh!
My brother and I used to be like this, playing pretend games. Love the plane – Jokkmokk, I think…? (the chairs) (we call all our IKEA furniture by name)
Not sure, but it is Ikea, so you may well be right! Yes, my brother and I loved doing things like this 🙂
Ah bless them, they sound like they have a wonderful relationship. Sweet picture x #MagicMoments
They really, do, and I just hope it lasts! Thanks x
I used to do things like this with my brother when we were small.
I’ve very fond memories 🙂
Ah yes we used to do this too when we were small. Imagination rocks!
It absolutely does!
I love it when kids get so wrapped up in games like this. My two boys (sometimes including their little sister) create their own complex little worlds, and I’m always impressed by the amount of detail and thought that goes into them.
It’s really interesting to listen to and watch, isn’t it? They constantly impress me!
Gorgeous, I love where kids imaginations can take them! #magicmoments
It’s wonderful to see 🙂
This is so lovely! So cute to see her imagination at work, and how he is getting involved! I think playtime like this is one of the best things about siblings, so much fun to be had together!! xx #whatsthestory
Yes, they get up to so much together, and it’s great fun to watch them!
Aw, such a lovely way to play together. It’s always wonderful to watch your children pretend play nicely, it sounds like they definitely enjoy it 🙂
They love it, and it’s fascinating to see what they come up with!
Isn’t it great over the holidays when time can be enjoyed and not feel like a thief. Lovely to see them playing together like this x
Yes, I love the lazy mornings where they get up to things like this x
So cute x I love watching kids play and get really imaginative – it’s so adorable! I love it when my LG sings to herself without realising anyone’s watching too.. makes my here melt a bit! xxx
Ah, they can so easily disappear into their own little worlds can’t they? x
And gorgeous memories for them to look back on as you record them on here – wonderful!
Absolutely, thank you.
That’s so cute! Lovely to see they are using their imagination 🙂 #silentsunday
They love it 🙂
Ah, that is so precious! What is it with children lining up chairs and pretending they are trains/planes/santa’s sleigh! Piaget would have something to say about it!
Every child does it, I’m sure!
Sometimes it really is the little everyday things that are so full of magic. Loving the more leisurely mornings too. #Magicmoments.
Yes, the trick is to stop and spot them as magic, I think.
It really is wonderful to see what their imagination comes up with! You captured a lovely shot there. I often like to stand an watch my toddler when he’s making an imaginary scene!
It’s great to see what they come up with, isn’t it?
Super cute. Fran sets our dining table chairs up as a bus and makes me ‘drive’ her about! #whatsthestory
It’s such a classic thing to do, isn’t it? And all kids seem to do it!
This is happening in the house a lot too lately. I would be in the kitchen doing chores or blogging and my son will be in the living room playing, imagining. I would hear different voices of him and conversations. I would always smile when I hear him do this. Would’ve been nice if he’s got a partner in crime but I think he is getting by playing by himself =) #MagicMoments
It is lovely to hear them doing, isn’t it? An insight into their creative minds! X
