My amazing kids have recently begun TOWN again. This is a (usually) winter time game that they came up with about 4 years ago.
Yesterday through process of election, each candidate for mayor, Jesse and Travis, made his speech, and Travis was voted in. The speeches were about taxes, monetary contributions to the hospital, mail and banking services. Of course I got them on video!This morning they have created a Science Lab, a Hospital, complete with IV bag, heart monitor, television/remote, patient charts, etc, a and giant Swimming Pool all with household items.
Wow. I stand in amazement at the knowledge of the world that they demonstrate through play!!!
Travis is the doctor in the hospital. He takes patients, examines their wounds, records their names/injuries on their chart, and does what he can to help them feel better. I suspect his is a wholistic doctor as I'm sure he helps them emotionally as well. Especially his littlest brother, Nathan, who has received the most injuries swinging on the ropes. :) He has probably come in with a few bruises and sore spots. Nathan enjoys the services of the hospital, including the singing doctor who belts out the theme song to one of his favorite TV shows, called SuperWhy
Jaidyn became a nurse today, bringing Nathan into the hospital while the doctor was upstairs in the kitchen procuring supplies for the lab.
Savannah is the Scientist, as well as the Maid and the Taxi Service. He also enjoys swinging on the ropes at the gymnasium (next to the pool) with his sister, Jaidyn.
