He's played with his Little People and Playmobil people and animals for a long time, but he's usually just putting them all in the barn or lining them up. He'll make the sound one of the animals makes and make it hop around. He'll push cars around and make sounds and run them down ramps.
But yesterday Carter started playing with his toys a little differently. He kept putting a little dog down on it's side and made snoring sounds. Then today he put a Cheerio up to the dogs mouth and a grape up to a persons mouth and made smacking noises. It just seems like now he's pretending that his toys can do things that he does.
It was a cooler, overcast morning so I took the boys to the splash pad when it opened. There were only a couple of other people there when we got there and it never got very crowded. Plus, school started this week in our county so there weren't any big kids to watch out for.
Carter enjoyed it for awhile but then became obsessed with eating. The kids at the table next to us were getting a snack and Carter kept saying "eat, eat, eat" and getting upset. I had one little snack with us that I gave him, but it wasn't enough. Carter had just had a whole cup of Cheerios before we left the house so I didn't bring much with us. We stayed about an hour but I never could get Carter to play for very long after he got his mind set on eating.
Here's a picture of Carter from yesterday afternoon and one from our run this morning. Notice anything in common?
Carter is obsessed with these rainboots. Brian's parents bought them for Carter a long time ago and his feet are finally big enough for them. I pulled them out of his closet yesterday and he wants to wear them all the time. This morning Carter was looking for them first thing after I got him out of his crib.
Carter tells Rylan hi and bye all the time. He always says, "Hi, Baby" or "Bye, Baby". Carter also loves to tell random people, animals, and objects (like airplanes) hi and bye. He's been getting a little confused lately though. Yesterday while saying bye to the garbage truck, he said, "Bye. Bye. Bye, Baby. Bye." I guess he's just used to attaching "Baby" to hi and bye!
