Cole's imagination is absolutely incredible. I'm sure all children's are. The awesome thing about being his Mommy is that I can get a little glimpse of what it is like to imagine pirates sailing through the living room or trains whizzing thru' the kitchen. I can't really remember what it was like to lose myself so completely in play but with Cole around I get that chance to relive alittle of my lost childhood everyday. There are days I admit that if I have to sword fight one more time or repeat the scripted pirate dialog he has concocted for me again I might go insane, but then I try to remember he will only be 4 once and to just enjoy the moment. I probably won't have a clean house until these little dudes go off to college but that's ok. As long as I remember to take time out to play with them and imagine.
(I confess: This post is written as a reminder to me because lately I am impatient and short with Cole and his gigantic, imaginative messes. He's a really good boy and I just need to chill out).

Yes, don't they have such vivid imaginations? It's enough to drive you nuts!! I know the feeling, and I am also grateful for Cali. But, I have a hard time every now and again.
Harrison would give his left arm for an imaginative matey like that! I'm so out of my element with pirates and swords.
