Exhaustion and Imagination

I try not to bore with 'kid posts' too much...but...

My four year old daughter was playing at a neighbor friend's house when the Mom called and said, "I guess your daughter's sleepy." I sighed because that usually means that they're fighting because she's gotten cranky. Then she told me to bring my camera...so I really wondered what was the matter. She had just fallen totally asleep at 6:00 p.m. while watching TV with her friend. We laughed and took photos and she didn't wake up until I picked her up to go home.

Sometimes her imagination is just so inspiring to me.

I was working on the computer in our bedroom when she brought in a mini Igloo cooler lunch box and laid it on it's side on top of the T.V.
She said that it was a T.V. and grabbed a make-believe remote control, pretended to turn it on and began laughing and pointing. She said, "Oh, that coconut!...Hahahhahahaha". She told me that it was 'The Coconut Channel'.

We went in the kitchen and made lunch and baked some cookies to eat together.

Then I went back into my room to check my email. She yells out from the living room, "Are you still watching that Coconut Channel?". It's funny to me that she still had it on her mind even several hours later. What a hoot!
