The Imagination of a Two Year Old

I didn't realize that a child's imagination kicks in at such an early age. It is by far my favorite thing to watch with the twins. Keaton wakes up every morning and pretends his blanket has "tiny winy dinosaurs" all over. He pretends to smash them, play with them, touch or pet them. He also says there are porcupines and hippos eating watermelons, or he will act like he is eating the animals. It's so funny to watch his expressions and hear his voice inflictions.

Today McKenna started pretending as well. She got on the ground and jumped like a frog and then started to act like there were little frogs on the ground that she was smashing.

I am not sure if McKenna quite gets what she is doing or if she is just copying Keaton, as that seems to be her favorite activity, but either way it is adorable and fun to watch.
