His Big Imagination

Ty is our thinker. You see this in the questions he asks, in the stories he tells, the way he watches movies, and when he plays with his toys. He doesn't just mindlessly play with toys...he dives in and becomes one of them. He doesn't just watch movies, he interacts with them. For example...if he is watching Snow Buddies, he gathers up all his stuffed dogs to watch with them, Star Wars, he collects up ever single one of his dozens of figurines and they act out the movie along with it. And there was a time when he was so into Toy Story and couldn't watch it without Buzz and Woody watching along with him.

Here are some pictures of him becoming one of his toys. My parents gave him this box of tiny pirate figurines, ships, cannons, maps, etc. So one day he was in his room playing with them...and he came out in his pj pants and boots. It really isn't unusually for this boy to strip down several times during the day but I had to ask why he put new pj pants on. I instantly knew the answer when he held up this one pirate. He had to become him to fully be able to play with him. I love the way this little man thinks.
