It never ceases to amaze me how Fisher can make his own fun. For example, if I had wanted him to endlessly send his cars (or any other toy) down his slide, he probably wouldn't be that interested. But this activity can occupy him for a strangely long amount of time and cause him to giggle so much about it.
A new game of his is to send his animals off the window seat in his room. I really think he is enjoying cause and effect, and he's learning a lot about gravity in the process. Here's what the new game looks like:
The animals all start out in their plastic home...
Then, one at a time, they take the plunge...
And here's where they end up...
Another silly thing Fisher does is "pretend sleep". He paused in the gravity game to take a quick nap with the tiger.
He does this all the time. I think his favorite is when he gets to nap with our cat Lucy. We have 3 cats, and Lucy is by far the most tolerant. She lets him "pet" her, pull her tail, and use her as a pillow (then he pretend sleeps! :).
He has also discovered hiding. He pulls pillows and blankets over his head, or he crawls under this archway and gets all the way to the back and pretends we can't see him.
And finally...Fisher has learned how to put himself down the slide. The first time he did it, he looked pretty surprised at the bottom and looked to us to see how he should react. We cheered and said "Good job!". That seemed to give him the confidence needed to try it again-and again and again!
I'm sure this is not the last of this type of entry. We'll just have to see what he comes up with next!
