I had the opportunity today to observe some simple, unadulterated progressions in John's mind today. There were no siblings, no parents (Obviously, I was there, but he'd forgotten about me), no friends, no animals. Just John and a shower spout, easily an object of great fascination. His thoughts seemed to go like this:
Cool - a shower spout, all to myself!
How do I turn it on?
I guess I'll get the sand off my hands and feet like everyone else does.
But what if I do this??
And this! I can make it spray everywhere.
I think I'll get some more sand on me so I can wash it off!
I'm thirsty!
After reading this post, I found myself paying attention to my own shower thoughts. "Looks stubbly. Do I have to shave them? Is someone crying? So far to bend over. Someone is definitely crying. Must get a shower with a bench. She's not stopping. I'll just wear long pants."
ReplyDeleteHope you're having an amazing day!
So fine to observe and articulate!
