I'm not all that thrilled that guns have been making their way into Sebastian's fantasy play. I'm not a fan of guns and I've explained why. But I also understand their developmental importance in the life of a 5 year old boy who is exploring good and evil.
So, yesterday at the park I was pleased to note that while the other boys were aiming at passersby, my boy was using his stick "gun" to "Shoot the quicksand! Quick!" and to shoot berries off a bush. Not the most sensible use of bullets, to be sure, but much friendlier.
there'll be days like this
the children are short, the days are long
