Yesterday, when my son and I were walking home from the bus stop, my boy did something unexpected. (Which if you know him, shouldn't be unexpected at all.)
He stopped, stuck him arms out on either side, and proceeded to spin in circles.
"Dude," I said. "What exactly are you doing?"
He stopped. A huge grin was plastered on his face. "I'm signaling helicopters!"
I raised my eyebrows and looked up. The sky was perfectly blue, and there wasn't one helicopter in sight. "Um, I don't see any helicopters, so I'm not sure your signal is very effective."
"Yes it is. There are lots of helicopters, Mama . . . In my head!"
(I'm afraid my boy has inherited the imagination gene from me. He has one colorful world between his ears!)
That is awesome! Creativity is one of those treasured resources that gets depleted. So glad he has a great source within him.

I think it's great that he's so creative!
DeleteHe's creative, you have to give him that!
ReplyDeleteYes, he's very creative!
DeleteI used to spin in circles, too. But, I hoped to turn into Wonder Woman. Maybe kids just like to spin????
ReplyDeleteKids definitely like to spin!
DeleteThis sounds like something my youngest nephew would do. He loves helicopters! :)
ReplyDeletehope they don't make too much draft up over there
ReplyDeleteSo far I haven't felt anything! ;0)
DeleteThey can be very random, can't they? But never boring. He has a great imagination!
ReplyDeleteKids are definitely random!
DeleteThey will sure keep that imagination constantly spinning
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteHopefully he has a great landing pad for them up there
ReplyDeleteYes. Sometimes he doesn't think that far ahead.
DeleteIn my head... I love it! Kids rock.
ReplyDeleteUnleashing the Dreamworld
Kids definitely rock!
DeleteLove his imagination! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too!
Deleteya, and then someday, he just spins up, up and away: sends you
ReplyDeletemother's day cards from way off somewhere.
That day will be coming, sooner than I'd like!
DeleteThe apple doesn't fall far from the tree. An imagination is to be cherished.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Very true!
DeleteThe imagination gene is the best kind o' DNA there is!
ReplyDelete(My son used to say "helyamacropter." Not sure where that came from...)
I love your son's word! That's creative!
Deletetoo cute! yes, quite the imagination.
ReplyDeleteI never know what he's going to come up with!
DeleteDefinitely an author in the making, your son is truly gifted with a wonderful imagination.
