Mika's FULL-FILL-ments with Playing
[see
also: Grandma and Mika- both like climbing, April 26]
[see Overview of Mika pages until October 13]
Watching and interacting with Mika,
my little granddaughter (21 months old),
who still knows, how to
create Heaven-on-Earth in each moment of her life.
She loves her dolls (at home), but she loves children much more (at a celebration in kindergarden) May 6 and 7, photos of Immanuel |
Slow
Motion of the action of
playing Two different playgrounds, August 21, about 6:30 PM, September 20, same hour , but winter-time. Today Mika is exactly 1 year & 9 months old. |
August 29,
an arena for skaters with low walls and bars around and a three-step amphitheatre,
plenty of challenges for Mika
Soon she will discover the next challenge. |
Lit by the last rays of the sun - Mika radiates
pride and ~~~ full-fill-ment !
It's
fun to climb up and it's fun to climb down. One is thirsty now - "mayim!" It's getting dark. Once more: feet on the wall, hand on the rail, hand holding water. |
But there are more walls to conquer on the way home!
And one wall must be shared with a huge cat...
August 29
Playing also means enjoying and training your skills!
Her stroller falls over - Mika will gather all her strength to put it upright
again.
Or:
Fixtures like the one on her stroller are ideal for training skilfullness.
Already 2 months ago I watched her unending patience with learning.
So from among the different backpacks, which accumulated during my desert-work,
I chose one for my journeys between Arad and Shoham,
as well as for the equipment needed during our adventure-walks in town,
which has the same kind of fixture.
She cannot yet open it, but she gets better and better at closing.
Eve of Yom Kippur, September 21, morning, on the Hill called "Sunflower Garden"
IN case you thought, that Mika shuns the usual
installments on playgrounds,
you are mistaken - at least with concern to swings.
A month ago, she still was a bit afraid,
now I can hardly catch the right perspective of the hight she wants to reach
with my help.

"yetzayee", she demands, instead of "le-tzayer" (to draw) not being able to pronounce "l" in most of the words, though in special moments she calls me not "satta" (savta=grandma) but "Rachel", pronouncing the word in general and the "l" in particular clearly and sweetly. So she is given pens or colors and paper and "draws".... September 20 |
I want to close this page with two contrasting images: On Aug. 8, she lovingly covers one of her dolls, on Sept. 20 she enjoys her own self in the mirror! |
