I'm
really sorry for the long quiet period, you must believe me, I was busy
in all means during this time. A new pattern is forming in my little
sewing corner for the smallest child, maybe some Christmas tree elfins
will make us smiling, and definitely will I show you how Simon and Lonka
liked their presents.
So this time you can read about our paper-ship project with Simon.
You
know, Simon is really passionate about ships, boats, rafts ...He wanted
to create a boat for himself, so I thought him, how he can fold a paper
ship. When he was satisfied with the ships he could create, he waned to
try them out. I suggested the bath tub, but he insisted on "real, big
water", so we took a walk to the nearby river bank. On the way we found
some fishing boats, and Simon became really excited he just told me
again and again, that he wants me to take a photo on him and the fishing
boot, until I agreed (of course I agreed soon, since I like to please
him).
He
decided to take two of his beautiful paper ships with us, just in case.
It was a clever idea, since one of his little ships keeled over so
early.... Fortunately Simon is an eternal optimist, - we have an other
one! - he said. And this time, being more careful, we were lucky, and
his little paper ship was floating nicely on the slow-running river.
And
then some miracle happened, the river played with us. She took the
little ship back and forth before us! It was amazing, the little paper
ship was floating around for half an hour! It enchanted Simon so much!
When
the little ship floated away, some wild ducks came near us. It is a big
fun to feed the ducks, but we were not enough deliberate, and didn't
took any duck-food with us. I had to promise Simon, that next time we
will pay attention to that!
Before
we set out for home, Simon wanted to take one last glimpse on his
little ship, so he climbed up on the highest tree, that he could find.
He didn't tell me, whether he could see it, but from his big, big smile I
think you can find it out!
Have playful days!
Especially at Christmas!
