Imagination Station...

Scarlett has the best imagination and I just love it! For a five year old she is very creative. I have always told the kids to turn the TV, the games and anything electronic off and "use their imagination". Usually that has involved the Little People. They will set up the whole Little People world and play for hours. Some days it is building a pirate ship and pretending to be pirates. The one that has personally been my favorite is Scarlett's Crime Scene Investigation Kit. She came up with this all on her own. She took Ethan's old toy tool box and started filling it with items she would need for an investigation.

She has tweezers, brushes, small bags for the "ebidence", flashlight and we made her very own "fingerprint spray" with Agent S. Cash labeled on the side. She is so funny on the trail of a crime. She will put on her little latex gloves and grab her tweezers and start filling her bags with all the evidence she can find. She will spray for fingerprints, lift and mix her "chemicals" and brush for anything left behind.
I was really proud of her for coming up with this idea. She has watched C.S.I. Miami and just LOVES Dr. Alex on the show and tells me she wants to be "like her". I am all for a doctor in the family! She thinks Callie is pretty, but likes the doctors job better. Smart girl!
Her she is with her crime scene box and happy that another case has been solved.

How darling! She is one smart little girl. Since Hayden wants to be a spy / CIA agent (with baseball player being his cover) then maybe they can work together! See you soon. We are up for a swim date whenever you say. It is a great incentive to behave at school.
