random monday 1 {imaginations}

the other day S was playing in the studio while i was cleaning in the bedroom...

and i walked in to this:

of course, instantly i burst into "omg-that's-so-adorable-i-must-giggle" giggles! 

i painted those ceramic deer while i was pregnant with S and he, with his awesome imagination, turned them into action figures! he said, "look, mom! the deer, one, two, three are in the light jet...bew, bew, bew..." apparently, deer make an appearance in the version of tron my son has in his head haha. (and yes, his light jet is missing its wings...honestly, we only know of the whereabouts of one...but hey, it can still fly.)

this triggered to remembrance one of the things that had been prayed for when i was pregnant with S. i wanted my son to have a grand imagination...and this was just one of the many ways God showed me that He answers prayers! and also, one of the many ways He shows me that He created S with a wonderfully creative mind!

let's all of us grown-ups, pull out those imaginations we once let run wild with 
so many thoughts, dreams, inventions, and creatures! 

let's all make a pact right now to dust them off and use them everyday, 
in work and in play, and most importantly...when engaging our children!

happy monday!

(now i'm going to go finish chugging my mug of coffee...i'm ready for you, monday!)
