Lately Little Dog has been expanding his rich internal world to include a few new personalities. He's already been a fireman, a naked dog, a member of the Backyardigans, a monster, a monkey and a tree house (yeah, I don't really understand that last one either). My very own pirate greeted me in the yard after work, yelling from his pirate ship/climber, "What you doing here, maties?" Followed up with a very authentic sounding "Arrr!" I have a baker, complete with toque who yells "Pie-ya" at the least provocation and a viking who routinely pillages my purse for "monies". I have to watch out for my own Kung Fu Tiger displaying elaborate kicks and jumps. All very cute, and funny, but for the most part these characters have been lifted from a TV show that struck him the right way or inspired by a hat or costume from the dress up box.
In the last week or so, he has started coming up with more complete characters, created on his own, complete with made up names. One day he was a bunny named "Tuk", the next he was a frog named "Captain Movie". A couple of days later, Captain Movie returned, but instead of being a frog he was a growling Snow Man. Interesting. So, at what point do I start setting aside money for therapy?
