Today was a great day and filled with pretend play. Cooper's friend Emory came over this morning for a few hours and while I was cooking breakfast they were playing train in a cardboard box. Cooper got out all his hats from his dress-up basket and was wearing his train conductor hat and sitting on the windowsill. Emory was patiently waiting for his turn with the conductor hat so I took out some more and Cooper decided to be a cowboy with a tool belt. He then started working on the train, which Emory did not like. Cooper set to work, called the train a construction zone. Told Emory that he better cover his eyes so the dust doesn't get in them. It was really cute and sweet. I took a couple of videos and a bunch of pictures.
This afternoon I watched Ciaran and Teo while Erin went to a hair appointment and Teo and Cooper had some great pretend play outside. They were chasing each other around on their Skuut bikes for a long time and then decided to play house. They each had a house across the driveway and visited each other. Then Cooper would say he was going to the store and pretend to call Teo to ask if he needed anything. They each took turns going to the store and calling each other with their shopping list. They played outside for about an hour, it was so nice and warm. It finally feels like spring may be in sight!
