Imagination

I shared a picture of Hudson using his imagination on Instagram the other day.  It was nothing profound- just a 3 year old pretending a doll and his snuggie had the stomach bug.  Yet, for this particular 3 year old boy, it was a huge milestone!  It has taken 3 and a half years for Hudson to use his imagination.  There have been glimpses here and there, but for the most part, his play has been very mechanical and repetitive.  He loved keys, doors, light switches, coins, medicine bottles, etc...  Toys have never really gotten his attention.

So, my heart was thrilled when I heard him telling his snuggie and Clara's doll to lay down, not get out of bed, and let him know when they felt the need to puke.  I listened as he comforted them, left the room, and then went back in to check on them.

I pray his imagination would continue to grow and develop and that he would create other worlds in our home and backyard.  Grateful for who he is and excited about who he will become.
