Fantasy in the forest

Nicholas' imagination is going wild at the moment. I love listening to him weave stories out of all the weird and wonderful threads dangling around in his head. It's great to see how his imagination is fed by the books we read, programs we watch, places we visit, people we meet, things we see - anything and everything he encounters has an effect on him - it's also amazing how his memory is developing.

The other day we went for a lovely walk with Claire and Phillipa in Putney Heath. We found an awesome clearing in the forest that provided the perfect setting for some imaginative and fantasy play.

Knight Nicholas and Princess Phillipa fighting the dragon
Seeking refuge from the shark
Hiding from the big bad wolf
Getting ready to fly
And they all lived happily ever after ...
