thought I would share some of what we do here at home - DD will be 5 in Dec. We pretend play all the time (her choice not necessarily mine) - every time we are in a store she likes to pretend she works there and helps me find things I need. She likes to play grocery store at home too, also we pretend play restaurant when we do playdoh...she pretends she's the waiter/chef and then makes me what I want with the playdoh. She also likes to pretend she's the mom and I'm the kid, she will read me books and just make up the words, story from the pictures. We also have a little kitchen dh made - so she likes to pretend she is cooking when I am cooking and sets the table she has and everything in preparation for her meal...
Sometimes pretend play with your child isn't much fun for you - but dh finds he can handle playing restaurant better than when he has to pretend he's the kid.
Hope things work out for you and your son - I remember you from when we were both in process!
