Gone Fishing!

The old fishing pole that didn't even have a button to push to release the line!! Imagination is the best!

Zakary has developed a new interest in FISHING!! He is constantly wanting to go fishing. I think he has really only been one time with GiGi. But, he is always pretending. His previous fishing pole broke many months ago and he was devastated. But, he continued to play with the broken fishing pole. Well, about a week ago he had over heard my Dad say that he needed to go get his fishing license so he could go fishing and since then he has persistently wanted to go fishing. One day he even went to take a nap at about 1130 because, "he was going to take a quick nap and then go fishing with Papaw". Needless to say he was disappointed when he got up because he was ready to fish. But, we had a great pretend fishing trip. So, I can't wait for the warm weather to come so this poor child can go fishing.

Yesterday we met my mom for some lunch and Zakary insisted that we go to Target after lunch so of course we did! Well, Zak wanted a new leapster game. After 10 minutes of making a decision about which one he wanted he finally decided on Nemo! So, we were walking out and he saw a fishing pole. Well, needless to say it was all over with then. He wanted a new fishing pole. He had the option of the game or the pole and he quickly decided the pole. On the way home he admired the pole until his eyes started to close. The further he went to sleepy land the tighter he held on to his pole. At one time he was actually holding the pole so tight he was hugging it to make sure it didn't fall. So, once he woke up he was ready to play "fishing". He had a great time until he remembered that he didn't get the Nemo game as well as the pole!
