"p-tending"

Jake and his imagination...

I remember before having kids I thought it was so cute when kids pretended and used their imagination. I realize now that I'm so used to Jake doing it, I don't even notice. He's always some character -- baby little foot (a dinosaur from the Land Before Time; he does this when he's sleepy or wants baby attention like his little brother gets), a "bad robot dy," a robot spider (picture the robot from the Incredibles movie), a frog (which he likes to do before bed and explains that frogs jump in their beds), and a few others I can't remember.
An animal in a "tage."
Army men and their house; they were all friends and invited each other inside their house. The army tank had its own garage. (We worked on this one together. :))
they're sleeping
This was just today - Max got a stuffed animal from his surgery. Jake took the tag off of it and wanted these taped to his fingers to make "bad robot pincher things." Random - I would have never come up with that.
Picking stuff up - serious robot face. :D
Lord, may I appreciate these sweet days rather than focusing on the little frustrations. I want to look back at these days and know that I made the most of them and LOVED my boys, showing them how loving You are.
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." John 15:12
