Over the last few weeks Jackson has been going through various assessments in preparation for preschool. During one particularly long session the speech therapist brought out a bunch of animal figurines and said that she wanted to see how Jackson did with imaginative play.
"See if he will pretend with the animals and have them interact with each other." she said hopefully.
Mark and I just looked at each other like this ought to be good.
Jackson tediously lined up all the animals, putting careful consideration on their placement. When he had them just how he wanted them, he brought his hand back and with one swoop sent them flying. He looked up triumphantly and announced, "Nice spare!"
"What did he say," the therapist asked confused.
Mark and I looked at each other a little embarrassed and I sheepishly said, "Nice spare. Like in bowling. He likes bowling." I finished lamely.
She laughed, "Not quite what I had in mind but I can't argue that it is defiantly imaginative play." and she marked something in her notes.
Thanks Jackson for reminding us once again that it is okay to think outside the box.
