Creative Boys!

Most of the time in our house we try to encourage imagination and creativity! I believe it fulfills an emotional purpose to create something. I believe this because i can remember the feeling of it when i was a kid. People can sometimes 'box in' what is seen as creative. So i say there are no rules. You should create what is in you that you want to let out, express or make physical a feeling you have inside! Anyway, enough philosophy . . .

Every night once all the daycare kids have headed home i head to the kitchen to make tea for everyone. This is when Asha (just like every other under 3 year old child) becomes whiny and gets under your feet while you are trying to rush around. Don't get me wrong, i love it when he wants my attention but sometimes kids just have to do what we want!!

So it's Chey and Jory's job to take Asha to play either outside or in their room or anywhere that is safe for him to play and occupy him while i get (most of) tea organised.

But Thursday night things became unusually quiet (which every parent knows you should investigate - just in case!). The boys had 'created' this . . . .

What is it i hear you ask??  "A barrier" i was told from the other side (of the barrier, not the dead!).

Every available item had been used

And some cheeky faces were peering over

There was even a snake . . .with fangs!

And a view from the other side.

So i let them continue . . . . they seemed happy . . . . and it's good, clean fun  . . . . And they weren't fighting!

And it was creative . . . And imaginative . . . And i can remember when the girls used to do similar stuff.

I just told them that everything had to be put back where they got it . . . .And surprisingly . . . It Was!!

And on a cuter note . . . . this is Asha's latest thing . . .

He climbs up on the couch with the boys and watches TV!!

It's too cute.

Dummy and all!!!

Oh and notice the Wii remote in his hand. . . . he pretends to use that too!!!
