Precious little birthday boy
A few weeks ago our five year old turned six. The following two stories just about sum up our little Ivan right now:
* I’m tucking him into bed one evening. We kiss, hug and say goodnight and then he says to me completely randomly, “My mind just wants to break apart when I think about the universe going on forever.”
* We’re all outside bouldering. Paul is resting, Silas is up in the woods drawing, Ivan is running around jumping off rocks and I’m trying to figure out what he’s up to. I signal to Paul to watch with me. Ivan climbs atop the largest rock he can find, then springs off. As he springs, he tucks is elbows close to his sides and starts flapping his forearms and hands wildly. He lands, stops flapping, climbs atop another rock and tries again. I look at Paul. “Hey, you gotta try, right?” he says. We both grin at the preciousness.
Impressive little intellectual one minute, yet still the innocent imaginative dreamer the next. Precious little birthday boy indeed.
