The power of pretend play

Overheard the other day, a conversation between LP, his garbage truck, and toy motorcycle.

To the truck: Now you have to go to work!

To the motorcycle: And you will go to daycare during this time. But don’t worry, the truck will come and pick you up right after work is finished.

To the truck: OK now your work is done, you go to daycare now!

To the motorcycle: See, the truck will always come and pick you up, and then you get to go home.

Turning to me: the motorcycle is really glad to be back home...

Me: And the truck is really glad to have picked up her dear munchkin.

That's so cute! ADORABLE! :)

And the role playing is probably very reassuring to him. Kids in general are so much more bright than the average adult gives them credit for. And your L-P sounds extremely perceptive!
