The world is but a canvas to our imagination. Henry David ThoreauThis is Dax's world...
He’s been riding his bike and has gotten stuck in the “mud”. “Help! I’m stuck in the mud!” Wyatt and I get to rescue him.
He’s trapped a baby armadillo in a “rubby cave”. I’m not quite sure what a rubby cave is yet, but luckily I get to feed the armadillo.
He’s “lassoed” everything around him with a shoe string, including me and his brother.
He’s rode along the lawn and back a million times in his Little Coupe car to “deliver the mail.” I even got a “Balentine’s”.
He’s “killed those bugs” as an exterminator with his spray bottle of water. I get to go pretend to be grossed out as I examine the plastic scorpion, spider, snake, and frog he’s planted in the grass.
He informs me every time he sees a plane in the sky with the white line of clouds trailing behind that it’s “Spider-man.” And I get to play along and tell him that he’s off to save someone. He thinks that’s a pretty good answer.
He’s turned into a pirate on a treasure hunt for “quarters”. That’s an awfully important treasure to find.
He’s lined up all the kitchen chairs and used Tupperware lids as tires and screams, “All Aboard!” I get to climb in and take a free train ride.
He’s cooked up some “pizza” with his big, white mixing bowl, wooden spoon, and yummy Hot Wheels. Best pizza I ever tasted.
He runs around the house screaming because the “monster” is going to get him. A few seconds later it’s Wyatt coming down the hall with his snotty, runny nose laughing his head off.
Dax’s imagination has taken off. Like Thoreau said, the world truly is a blank canvas to our imagination.
I love being apart of Dax’s imaginary world.

What a fun imagination he has. I love when the imagination comes alive and we get to be a part of it. Great picture and what a fun fantasy to live in.
You are amazing at taking pictures. They are all so stinkin cute.
I love the imagination and love when kids use theirs! Oh, really it is one of my favorite things in this world! That picture at the top is priceless too.
How cute! Seems like such a fun age.
I really wish we lived closer. Finn would love to play with Dax. Seems like they are on the same page sometimes. He is so cute. I know you are loving every minute of it!
I want him!

What a funny boy. Books, books and more books. Keep reading to him and he will come up with all sorts of things.
I LOVE that he pretends planes are spider-man going to save someone! That's adorable!! I have never even thought of that! And of course, him running away from the "monster" has got to be a favorite. We too play train with our bar stools when I slide them away from the bar to vacuum. That's a fun one! He looks so cute with that little smile on his face!
Isnt it so precious to see the mind of a child and what they do! I love it! It is why I love working with little children! They captivate me with their free spirits and imagination of doing and being whatever they want! The absoulte joy of childhood! He is so cute! You have such a beautiful family and you are such an AMAZING mom! I hope to be like you someday! Love you!
