He's playing with a balloon, trying not to let it touch the floor (simple tip... it's a great exercise for us adults too.. silly but funny. I'm proud to say that I was his inspiration for this little game).
He's finally controlling the balloon in the air for a good amount of time, so he calls me to show off:
Mama, come see what I can do!
I had noticed what he was doing, but he likes me to stay still and look at him sometimes, so I do it. Only, of course, the time I am sitting still watching him, he looses control of the balloon after the 6th or 7th touch and it falls to the floor. I smile and comment, slightly amused:
Well, that one didn't go so well...
But mama, it's all part of the game!
Oh, I'm sorry, I hadn't understood that.
Well, it is. Sometimes the balloon stays in the air, sometimes it falls. It's just the way things go...
What a wise little boy! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHe is quite a surprise sometimes! It's like he knows instinctively what matters whilst us adults need to remember ourselves.
DeleteHe's a very good teacher! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe best!
DeleteI am trying to be a good student :)
They are our greatest teachers. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are indeed! It's a very rewarding interaction.
DeleteQue rapazinho tão sábio!
ReplyDeleteSim, embora também (cada vez mais) safado e desafiador... faz parte!
