Practicing tracing and identifying shapes. Tracing and copying shape words ... square ... rectangle.
Erin sits on my lap, her hair still fragrant from spring-like breezes and sunshine. We had lunch at the picnic table in a sunny spot, checkered cloth covering, sandwiches in bags, chips, apples and pudding. Kids ran and played and I soaked in sun. It was only just minutes ago, and her hair retains this promising scent of spring and childhood. Wishing I could bottle it, infuse this delight of time, this vapor.
"Trace and color the rectangles," I read the directions. She sits in my lap and complies.
"Trace and copy the word 'rectangle'," I continue.
"Ok, but don't look," she tells. She likes to surprise with the finished product.
"Ok," I say. I close my eyes and lean in to breathe her hair.
"And no sniffing," she says. My jaw drops in amusement.
"And no kissing," she sums up.
"No fair," I tell her and laugh.
Do not forget five.
