Inside Hailey's brain there is a vast landscape of imagination. From the very beginning of her life she started collecting treasures to become props for her "imaginating". I saved every cardboard box, every extra button and every scrap of anything she thought had potential. Thus her room is stuffed with what I call "junk", but to Hailey her "junk" is a gateway to a special world all in her head.

A fully furnished 3 bedroom cardboard house for her
little plastic friends. Notice the wallpaper, notice the
windows, notice the kitchen appliances.
Everything has it's own details.

This is the neighborhood school. There is a blackboard
and desks with miniature books for each student.
See the bike rack? The next room is the lunchroom
with nutrition labels on the walls. Each lunch table
has a ketchup and mustard bottle on it.

This is a movie theater where every one of Hailey's little
"characters" can sit and watch the TV with her. Notice
the bowl of candy in the back. Each little guy gets a piece
while watching the movie.

Hailey is doing a little dental work on her hippo. Open wide!

A great "box fort" for hours of fun pretend time

A rollercoaster! Everyone strapped in? Weeeee!
All those things she did are so freaking cool! Seriously impressive. Most kids don't have half the imagination and creativity. (I have four that don't have it.) I think you and Dave are both very talented so Hailey got a double dose.
ReplyDeleteWow Wendy. Great Blog! I've been going back over some old posts. What a beautiful house and wonderful family. It is fun to see what you have been up to. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteIs it okay if I'm a little frightened by the giant eyes of the movie watching creatures? I'm kind of freaked out.....

I always knew we had creative, remarkable grandchildren, Hailey doesn't surprise us at all.
