ENTRY #29

Ty Collins is the most creative child for his age that I have ever met. Yes, I may be partial, because he is my son, but he is genuinely funny and creative for 21 months. He may not be able to make things like an older child, but he does know how to use his imagination.

Every night before he goes to bed, he has to feed and water his play animals. He has many horses, cows, sheep, birds, dogs, etc. and a barn on a farm floor matt. I purchased some fake hay that he feeds them with and we used a play dough container as a watering barrel. He lines all the animals up and feeds them every day, just like his daddy and paw paw does on the farm.

It’s so cute to watch and you can just see his mind working when he does it. Sometimes the animals bite him and he puts them in time out. He also gets out our tupperware containers and makes us get down like a dog on all fours and pretend like we are eating from the dishes. He’s so much fun! His mind just goes with creativity and I hope that continues to do this throughout his entire life, because an imagination is so important.
