Calvin's Role Play

Cal has been pretending a lot in his play lately. This morning he has been trying to play with Luke's mobile.....not too surprising. He has also been saying things to Luke like, "He's so sweet" and "Awww" and "Good job, Luke!"

However, Calvin has had many not-so-predictable scenes as well. For example:

Yesterday he said, "I'm just going to lay down on the couch for a while while you and Jack start eating dinner because I don't feel very well." One of the classic moves in the "Rocke Infirmary." Thankfully the infirmary has been inactive apart from Calvin's role play for a week now!

This is Calvin with his moving truck....lined up next to the curb just like the moving truck in the neighborhood about 6 weeks ago. The people were moving to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Guess where Calvin is heading?

Apparently Mr. Moose just had a birthday where he turned 10, and Daddy Lion and Symba both just recently turned "26 or 27." I am assuming this is in honor of Jack's birthday last weekend.

And Calvin has been walking around with an apron (suppose to be a tool belt, I think) cooking on the grill ("griddle") with all his tools in the pouches. I am not sure where he gets the apron idea because Dan certainly would not be caught dead wearing an apron. However, since our grill is broken, I have been using the griddle....poor guy thinks that a grill is a griddle.

And yesterday at the pediatrician both boys starting slapping their knees and laughing while saying "Daw Gone it!" after Calvin dropped a cracker on the floor. I was glad that I had not used other exclamations at home for them to copy at that moment!
