Toddler is now entering the world of imaginary play. Probably because Baby Sister is now crawling and stealing all the real toys. And he's pretty imaginative for a not-quite-two-and-a-half-year-old. And he does different voices for different characters - I love it.
Recently I overheard a conversation two of his imaginary friends were having with each other. The friends were clearly arguing about whose boat was better, and the conversation went along the lines of:
"this my boat"
"this my BIG boat"
"my boat has bow-thrusters"
"oh".
Oh, indeed. I am starting to wonder if it's normal for a child of his age to have vocabulary that includes technical terms like that. But then it's probably not normal for a child of that age to spend Easter day standing on a canal bank in the falling snow enthusiastically waving around a metal object shouting "look mummy - windlass!"
