Pete and Repeat

I arrived to watch Lennon today and he was playing Lego Star Wars. Pulling up a chair beside him, I asked if I could join him? It was a purely rhetorical question, of course. I always sit right beside him when he’s playing and I baby sit.

This time he glanced up and said, “Sure, if you can just sit there and be quiet. Don’t talk.” It was so hard not to laugh, but I promised to be quiet. Of course three seconds later he was chattering to me and we were off.

Three years old and he plays with the intensity of someone far older, leaning into the direction he’s going, shouting at the screen, moaning and groaning, whooping and cringing.

Thank goodness these men don’t die, they’re blocks that just fall apart, then reassemble! It is made for children and for a video game is really well done, but it is still very real for him. I have dreams about it after watching him play, so I can only imagine that he does too.

We have good imaginations in our family. Really good!
