lining up* and randOm thoughts...

I've posted in my other blog how Triz is so much fond of lining up things. Well, I could say everything she could do with what's available at a certain time is kind of a product of geometry. That's what swithart insists as well. She has done it with building blocks, with clothes, and with almost all of her other toys and so I just won't mind it because I see it almost all of the time. When when she lines up things that are a little unusual, that's when I spend some effort getting some shots. Like this one:

Well, they're just pieces of the Wheat Thin Crackers that she was eating before she made those forms.

She do knows they are food because she was munching on them first. That's just what she was able to come up with after being satisfied with some bites. I was glad she find some ways on how to keep herself busy.

At least, it made her busy alright. Kids in this country are often heard complaining how bored they are. Swithart and I would often wonder how could they dare say they're bored when they've got everything to do? They've got a lot of toys that they could play with, and a lot of things to really explore. But we just arrive at a conclusion that maybe because they rely too much on things that are instant. When a battery of a certain thing died, they quickly shout to mom and dad that the battery died. They don't find time to look for an extra one so they could give their selves something to do. Oh well, little things-- they are those that gives you much happiness instead of boredom, right? When we were young, our toys weren't that luxurious at all. We were the ones who even invented them because our parents were not able to buy them for us. In Triz's time now, she's got plenty of toys and most of them were hand-me-downs. We only bought her the educational ones but we've got a super duper generous donor right here in the family of Jerry who are kind enough to share what they have. And so, Triz is a lucky one. BUT then again... I wouldn't allow her to utter the word "boring" when she's a little bigger. There's a lot of explorations out there waiting to be dug in. We are just thankful that in her very young days now, she's giving us a hint that she's ready to explore, not to say bored. :)
