Tanek loves to pretend and play with his hats. This "cowboy" outfit used to be Ricky's when he was a little boy, so it was extra special to play cowboy like daddy did.

He likes to "gun" down the bad guys! He hasn't really learned to "shoot" people, which is okay with me. He just guns them instead.

Tanek is having fun riding his horse that Mimi and Pawpaw gave him and yelling "Hee haw"!


He just thinks he is so cute - he was definitely in performance mode!

Now he is a train conductor - also one of Ricky's hats as a boy!

"Woo woo"! Let's get this train moving!

This is Tanek's beach hat, but he was using it as a makeshift cowboy hat this weekend.

Now we have Tanek, the fireman! He usually carries around his jump rope to use as his hose, but not this time.

Tanek, the builder. He has built many, many things back when he was a builder, but most of the time these days, he just wants to be a little boy. He's tired from all the work he's done - he's built the Disney buses, monorail, houses, fixed roads, dug big, huge holes, etc. He needs to rest and play now!


And here he is in his traditional Kazakh hat. It's already too small for him, but he likes to pretend he's a baby when he puts it on!

Saying hello to Mickey Mouse, wearing his Disney hat! He still talks about Disneyworld or the Disney ship everyday!


Tanek in his "baseball" cap, ready to catch a ball!

Tanek is very easily amused and I'm glad he has a vivid imagination to enjoy all of this pretend playing!

He is such a cutie. I love the way his imagination runs. There is NEVER a dull moment when he is around. He has a vivid imagination
and has so much fun pretending.
How very special to see Tanek in the cowboy suit his daddy wore.
The train conductor had was made by Granny and I made matching overalls the year Ricky got a train for Christmas.
Precious memories.
