He's got an imagination- I'm a little scared!

Caed has reached the stage where his imagination works overtime! He can come up with the most amazing and entertaining stories and deliver them like an Emmy winner. Most of the time he tells these stories to be a part of whatever conversation is going on at the moment. The question is, at what point do we challenge/correct his imaginative tales?

Some of my favorites are about his kids- yes, kids! According to Caed, he has 5 kids. Some boys, some girls, and some babies. For months, he will tell us about taking care of his kids, "getting his kids in trouble", putting his kids to bed, etc........the latest happened on over the weekend. We spent Sat. morning thrift store shopping and then went by Krispy Kreme on our way home. Caed wanted a doughnut with sprinkles. So we ordered one for him. When it came, it had chocolate (a rare treat) icing and sprinkles. So he was in the back in his car seat, enjoying the doughnut when he started with "Guess what my kids said?" He proceeded to tell us that his kids had asked for a bite of his doughnut. He said that he told them they couldn't have any because it had chocolate icing. He explained that his kids couldn't have chocolate until they were very tall and 58 because it has caffeine- you know??

I am loving his imagination. At least you can tell he listens to you. I mean he knows that chocolate has caffeine! I am impressed! I can't wait for Chloe to be able to really tell us what she is thinking about and start telling stories. So fun!
