in character

you know that boden regularly (almost everyday) plays that he is a character, other than boden. his favorites are clifford, little doggie, macy, and lion. he will then last all day being that character, following it through to the level of not even responding to his own name. the rest of the family quite often is a character too. like when he is clifford, dad is jorge, mom is emily elizabeth, and heidi is cleo. yesterday morning, when i got him up early to go to toddlerville, he could barely lift himself off of his pillow, but he was already telling me that he was clifford. then today, we were looking through some photos from the last 2-4 weeks, and on a couple of them he pointed out himself as the character he played that day. like 2 weeks ago when we were camping with his cousins and went up mt pisgah, he was a lion (which he was, quite loudly, in fact). then about 4 weeks ago he went to the fair with auntie liz, and i guess he was a little doggie (auntie liz will have to verify). its crazy what capacity his brain has to soak up and store thigns. just shows that if a child had the experience that an adult has, their mental abilities would be quite formidable.
