Just Karma 195
Grand ‘Son’
(haibun)
Just how busy can a six year old keep you? Train tracks have trains traveling
a maze of wooden trails, some leading to another group of toys set up as a
stop on the town...taking up all the square footage of the room.
We get derailed out into nature to visit two different parks; Climbing rocks,
scampering over bridges, sliding and hiding in tubes and tunnels before
escaping the heat into the library.
The silo room is filled with building toys, a different train; another country of
building blocks for imaginative play - We borrow some videos for perhaps a
quiet time after stopping at the library cafe store for a snack and books!
Once back home lunch is but a refueling station, milked for all it is worth;
Grama breathes while the video entertains the child who will rest, but not nap.
There is a request for macaroni cargo for the trains to haul, after a brief look
at the huge spider web found outside...Daddy arrives and Son of Son does
not want to leave - It’s the first time in a long time he’s had Grama all to himself
without Little Miss joining them. Ever the negotiator Son of Son pleads for a
repeat of the day...tomorrow...
grandchildren; blessings
change the scheduled plans of peace -
brightening our daze
