•°•¤ لغويات¤•°• hi i'm sorry i came late
It's mid-morning and Erin and Noah are playing with Duplo. They have built something they are calling a "mooseum" which has incorporated almost every block we own. Each doorway serves a specific imaginary purpose. A windmill apparently supplies the museum with power. There is a large parking lot for cars and trains. The museum is popular and very busy today. The "less fierce" animals, those with soft fur, reside in a special area where they are looked after by the Red Guy. The Blue Guy is feeding meat and bones to the fiercer animals in another area. A monkey is balancing on the fridge but keeps falling off. Erin and Noah laugh every time this happens. The train is leaving on a tour of the museum grounds. The Green Guy, who drives the train, gives a running commentary of the exhibits, by way of Erin. The tour encircles the play room, winding under the legs of the piano bench, over to the computer desk where am sitting with the baby, around the couch and back to the museum.
I adore my kids, and I love to watch them play like this. Noah is wearing just his pyjama bottoms and I watch his pointy shoulder blades wander beneath his skin as he reaches across a tower for a blue block. He is just learning to talk, and we are discovering how much he has learned without us knowing. Erin's hair is a mess; she is still wearing her pyjamas too. But I see how she watches Noah with the same fascination I hold for both of them. She loves watching him learn and is as delighted as he is with his growing abilities. "See, this one is blue-red-blue-red", she says, pointing to a pattern in a tower, "and this one is yellow-green-yellow-green. Let's keep going the same way."
I always knew that young children had tremendous learning potential. I understood that their boundless delight in exploring and creating made them eager to learn in ways they often weren't thought capable. I knew that as a parent I would want to try to tap into that eagerness. I wanted to help my children grow to be confident, contented and capable members of society, and I figured that supporting them in their early learning would build a solid foundation for their continued success in school.
