The Story of Julio & Jaime (not Jamie)

James received "The Story of Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf for his birthday. As with all things, Joel has adopted "Ferdinand" until such time as James is old enough to enjoy said thing(s) for himself. And so we have imaginary Spain, bulls, and "picadories" (picadores) throughout the house. The first time he began playing out the story his tent was set up in his room, and his tent was "Spain". He got his plastic sword to "poke da bulls", and his wooden ABC blocks were "da bulls". He and James crawled into the tent and had quite a lot of fun playing "picadories". Bursts of laughter echoed out of Joel's room which was really the best part for me. Currently the tent is put away; but ever creative, Joel will pick some special nook to be Spain and he will go get his blocks and "fight" Ferdinand.
