Imagination Playground

Today, Alex had Sports Skills class at Bruce Chung. Just like last Wednesday, I packed a lunch for us to have together at the playground near the train station. He's doing really well in Sports Skills class, heeding all of his teachers and doing all of the challenges. I figured that he should have some fun too.

Normally, there are other children there to play with. That wasn't the case today. The one boy who was there left early. Alex didn't have anyone to play with. So, I asked him if he'd like to play with me. He readily said "Yeah!"

We climbed up on the equipment, which is designed to look like a circus train. Today, it was a ship.

And the wood chips that are there to break little ones' falls were fish in a big ocean. Captain Alex fished and First Mate Mommy made a surprise meal out of it.   Then Captain Alex put it in the hold.

Captain Alex gave an order to hoist the sails and First Mate Mommy did as ordered. "There's land ho!" Captain Alex cried. First Mate Mommy set a course for it.

We sailed together for a while. I'm really loving these parts of the journey.

(P.S. Then, there's this good part of Wednesdays too. This is the second Wednesday this month that this has happened.)
