I was feeding Bryan small, chopped pieces of fruit (which he LOVES) when one of them fell right of out his mouth onto this booster seat. Before he could pick it up and throw it all over the place, I got it and put it aside. This was when Bryan started to “pretend” the fruit was still there — He picked up the invisible fruit with his thumb and index finger, pretended to put it in his mouth and smiled while tilting his head upwards looking at me. I laughed out loud. Now he knew I thought it was funny. So he did it again just to make me laugh.
This is now part of the “dropped food” routine. I didn’t think kids were able to “make-believe” until they are much older!? But whatever…
Kids are the best!
