Give a Boy a Stick

Max loves any kind of stick - a broom stick handle, the metal bar that goes in the pack and play, the plastic rod support from the hamper, an actual stick... you name it. He loves to pretend and it seems a stick must be present for adequate play.

It's a guitar, a light saber, a gun, a bamboo pole from a song and dance in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a sword, his dancing stick as seen in such numbers as Chim Chim Cheroo and Jolly Holiday with Mary or Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (I didn't check the spelling on that), his horse, a motorcycle (handle bars)... again, you name it. Add a second stick and it can now be a violin or crutches like Grandma Pam.

It is so much fun to be a parent and watch your kids play and be creative and imaginative.
