Picnic!

At speech therapy today, we did a pretend picnic. At first Michael was protesting it, but after a minute or two, he decided he wanted to play. It took him a bit to get the idea of playing with imaginary food, but he caught on and was playing along. He would pass me my food and laugh as I pretended to take a bite. He even pretended to take imaginary bites too! We would ask him questions like "What kind of cookies should we have for our picnic?" and he wouldn't respond. But if we told him "Oh look, chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies! Which does mommy get?" He would gladly make a decision. It was really cute. I bought the kids a bunch of play food for Christmas and now I'm pretty excited to play with them with it. :)
