imaginative play...

We see it occasionally, and today we saw some, which is nice. He's got this little toy elephant that he's been loving on lately (sleeping with, carrying around, etc). This aftenroon, he came and said "water" to me, so we went in the bathroom and turned the faucet on. He pushed the stopper in, and put the elephant in. He proceeded to have the elephant frolic in the water. When i said it was time to be done, we let the water out and he got a washcloth to dry the elephant off. 3 hours later, he's still carrying it around in the washcloth.
