Imagination

It has been awesome seeing Zane pretending and using his imagination more. It's like he has all new toys all of a sudden because he's finally realizing how to play with his old toys the right way. He has a bus and firetruck that have lot's of little people that ride in them and he has been spending a ton of time putting them in and out and pretending like they are riding and actually using the doors. He also hides the people in different spots and then says, "Where's the fireman?" "He's hiding." Then he thinks it's hilarious when he finds him and says, "There he is. I got him!" The funny thing about the second video is that the place he chose to put the people after he took them out was under the high chair, so it was really hard for him each time (but he had to have them there). Right when I started taping, he started putting them right next to the fire truck instead.

He also has a new best friend, his doggie who does everything with him. He talks to him directly ("Here you go, doggie"). Zane feeds him, by going through the whole routine of putting a bib on him, putting him in the high chair, feeding him, cleaning him up and then putting the bib away. He also let's him take naps on the couch...he makes sure he has a blanket and blankie and pacifier. Everyday he reads to the dog, dances with him, let's him shoot the basketball, makes him clap and give other animals hugs. He even gives him high fives and knuckle hits. It's funny too, because he always tells us what the dog is doing... "He's dancing or he's clapping or he's barking."
