can i have a little proud mummy moment again please

[bubblagirl]

today my ds specialist pre school teacher was round talking about team around the child

anyway ds picked up his toy mobile and had a conversation with daddy and then again with nanny

first time he has done pretend im so proud he told her he done a poo lol

his normally so precise no thats a toy phone etc

That is fantastic, well done bubbleboy!
To add to it, my 4 year old has progressed to level 4 pecs, and has started to drink from a regular beaker rather than a sippy cup, am so so so proud![grin}

All teary, coudldn't see the keyboard properly

oh bless im really happy for you its so great to see them make progress im so proud of every step at moment you've made me all teary now but with happiness for you i know how proud you must be

Well done bubbleboy. I find the bath a really good place for doing pretend play. The bath toys or bath brush 'talk' to them and they talk back - you find out loads! Flyingboy still remembers me doing this with the bathbrush on holiday once - that was 10 years ago. Perhaps Bubbleboy could have a plastic phone piece in the car or bath or somewhere and 'phone' daddy to tell him about his day.

yes that sounds like a good idea today he told him we wanted bread and milk lol and then told nanny he done a poo lol

i was shocked as normally you have to prompt him to say things and virtually tell him how to do it and today did it alone teacher first off said is that daddy and then he said that wa sdaddy on phone and i knew it was because teacher had mentioned his name but then the second time he said nanny unprompted and with no mention of her name

when dp got him i gave ds his phone and he then said it was nanny on the boat on the phone [dp mum] nanny = my mum

this again was with no mention of her at all so just showed he had to think about it

i will try what you said and see if i can build on this

any other ideas of promoting pretend/imaginative play welcome

I dont ahve any ideas, just wanted to say a huge 'Well Done'

thank you x

well done

I think another basic one is putting something that's not a hat on your head and saying it's a hat.

lol yes i'll have to try as his no thats a x lol

he does make planes out of toast though but if you say is that a plane no its toast lol
