Bought Xuanie a toy cement mixer a few days ago. It’s become one of his favorites. Just yesterday, we witnessed a real cement mixer in action. So, Xuanie finally got to experience the “objectivization” of all the “abstract” procedures he heard from me about what a cement mixer does: Grind up stones, pour out the cement, and how the cement is used to pave side walks.
It was a very sweet moment. We were less than 2 meters from all the action. He was first held by me but when the process got too long, I placed him down to stand on his own. As I squated down nex to him, he placed his arm over my shoulder. A heavy and protective, albeit tiny, little arm. It’s a kodak moment for mama.
