It's actually a vacuum cleaner attachment! :)
Will goes in spurts of being obsessed with these plastic tubes and finds all sorts of uses for them in his play time. I do have to say, I'm happy to see his imagination blossoming a little more. He never seemed all that inventive as a toddler, but now he's coming up with much more creative play.
The last couple nights, he's been into playing "pirate kids" with Sophie, which basically consists of Will saying "Ohhhh, Matey!" over and over and jumping from pillow to pillow scattered all over the living room floor. Or, if my back was turned, jumping from coffee table to couch and back.
Oh, and I did try to tell him I thought the slogan was either "Ahoy, Matey!" or "Argh, Matey!" But he insisted on saying "Ohhhh, Matey! Today I'm a pirate kid!"
And the vacuum cleaner attachment was his "pirate stick"... whatever that is...
In the same night, he might suddenly switch to astronomy and use his stick as a telescope:
The other source of entertainment tonight has been the end table beside our couch. It's a hexagon shape with one cabinet door on one side and hollow in the center for storage. We usually just keep blankets in there. So Will and Sophie pulled out all the blankets and took turns climbing inside and playing peek-a-boo with the cabinet door. :)
Ah, child play...
