Jonathan has taken to planning and even building
machines. Preferably laser machines.
He likes to draw out plans for his machines and make ingredient
lists. Then he wants to build them, but is not always able to explain how.
Planning the steps of a game and drawing instructions, drawing a course or
planning the making of a cake (lets go to the supermarket and purchase
ingredients and then we will bake a cake), are all charming pastimes for
Jonathan. Decorating a plastic box and then declaring that it is a “creation”
(Yetzira) or a machine is a daily event.
I would have started to hope that I am
raising a little engineer but then Jonathan wants to solve some issue with magic
(mommy make magic so that…) preferably magic which entails the shooting of
imaginary laser beams out of his hands (dramatic gestures, flying arms and
shooting noises all included for special effects). Considering the statues he
puts together at my parents (mommy, grandma, look I have built a machine..a
laser machine…) using plastic boxes, toy pieces and a watering pot, I am
raising a freestyle artists…such a shame that one must be truly exceptional to
make money of art...Watching Jonathan handle any electronic device with ease (including
my mother’s newest gem – the ipad) and his mastery of computer games, I do believe
there is hope of him yet making a sensible living…Ah! Balsam to a mother's sole…
