Dear Cash,

(Playing with bubbles while you run from the dinosaurs)

Man oh man, has your imagination taken flight over the last month or so. You are at that point in your life when something doesn't have to be tangible or right in front of you for you to play with it. You can think up something in your head and "boom" it's there. And there is nothing that anyone can say to change your mind. 

Just recently we have been playing hide and seek from dinosaurs and E.T. We have been playing "Narnia" with our pretend swords. We have been playing "Masters" outside or in the living room and pretending that you are playing in the Masters. We have crawled on all fours with a pretend gun in our hands to find and shoot the bad guys. We have stayed on the couch for long periods of time because the "sharks" would get us if we put our feet down.

And I am loving every minute of it. It is sometimes hard for me to know exactly what in the heck is going on inside that mind of yours. But I try. I try to play along. I try not to squash your imagination by telling you," That's not real, Cash." or "We don't play with swords or guns in the house."I am trying to embrace and promote your imagination. Not squander it. 

Oh yes, sweet boy. Imagine and dream all you can. Mommy always wants to hear about your dreams and thoughts. It never, ever gets old. 

Love,

Mom
