Did you know that our backyard is a jungle?

Ah, the imagination of a 3 year old!

Bella is soooo into pretend play now. One of her favorite things to do is pretend our backyard or anywhere with lots of greenery is a jungle. We put on our "binoculars" and look for animals in the trees. It always ends with the animals trying to get us and we run away and then look for more. It is really fun! Charlie gets into it too, as you can see from the video. He just follows us around an then screams and runs when we do. He also thinks that when we have our binoculars on we are playing peek-a-boo!

Bella's other favorite game is to pretend we are different people and the whole family joins in. We are everything from the wiggles and higgletown heros to the three little pigs and Mickey and Minnie!

My favorite one was one day when Bella said that we were Goldilocks and the three bears. She said that Bill and I were mama and papa bear and she was baby bear. When I asked her who Charlie was she said that he was Goldilocks!!! She calls us by name and it sounds so funny to hear Charlie referred to as Goldilocks!!!
