The little paper ship

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!
