The Gallery: Playtime
The theme for the Sticky Fingers Gallery this week is playtime. Tara has joined forces with Cathy at Nurturestore for her Play Academy, making learning fun.
Presley and Cash play together all the time now. They play imaginatively, mostly copying mine and Andy's daily activities.
Here they are 'working for money' as they know this is what Daddy does Monday to Friday.
If Andy pops out of his office for a cup of tea they tell him to get back to work!
They spend hours with Tupperware tubs and wooden spoons, pretending to cook. They go shopping with a toy trolley and pushchair. I hear them copy my exclamations. The other day Presley said 'it's pouring with rain we need to put our coats on then we put the shopping in the car'. They brum their cars to grandma and grandad's and park on the bumb (the kerb).
If we're in the garden, they love to help. They will happily collect leaves and sticks to put in the brown bin. Most of the time though, you can find them in the greenhouse.

ReplyDeleteOh that brings back so many memories! My first two were like this when they were little and they are still thick as thieves now at 12 and 14! Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteLook at them! Mine are just fight, fight, bicker at the moment, so I'm longing for that day.... Do you want to send them up here so they can set a good example?!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - they look like two peas in a pod in those hats. How lovely that they play so well together.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding much of what I say and do repeated or copied - makes me careful!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute together, in those little hats!! x
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how 'play' has become such a big business but as for as the children are concerned, it is doing 'life'!
ReplyDeleteAw, they really do look like best of friends!

ReplyDeletelove that all their play is so purposeful, they look great together :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, they are going to grow up the best of friends....it is going to be so exciting watching them develop now with their playing. I love all the little games children play at that age with no need for toys really...just their imagination. Lovely. :) xx
