The Perks of Sheltering in Place with a 5 year Old
I
am trying to hold on to these precious moments when I get to spend a
couple of hours each day FaceTiming with Sofia. Under non sheltering
days I know neither of us would have the free time to “play” together.
Sometimes she is just silently building or drawing but I am sitting with
her chatting as she works on things. In between the silent spaces I say
what are you making now with the LEGOs? She says I’m making a gymnastic
center and then she will ask my opinion on what else to include “should
we have a coffee bar for the parents when they watch their kids
exercise?” Me: that would be great! The next day the legos become a
cabin or a hair salon and so goes our summer days together. I will
remember these days fondly and the innocent way she stands up and says
“look Gramma how big I am growing! “ and in my heart I say please don’t
grow up too fast!
