Jono and Alia have been making lots of cubby houses in the family room lately. They move the furniture around, drape blankets over it, and build little cities underneath. They play for an hour or so and then pack the whole thing up before school !
This morning they came to me for a big piece of butcher paper and then proceeded to draw our little shopping center, complete with car park. It even had a playground ... I may have to present their drawing to council as there isn't currently one there.
I love the flow of creativity that I see in them ... takes me back to my childhood ! My siblings and I were builders. We used to gather wood, nails and any other 'supplies' we could find around the neighborhood and build forts. We would sometimes make them themed. One was a space center, one was a beach house, one was ... oh, I can't remember all of them anymore. We'd build one, make it just how we liked it and then tear it down and start all over again !!
What things do you see in your children that take you back to your childhood ?
