The kids spend quite a bit of time on the road each day…going to and from school. Sometimes I really wonder what is on Jonathan’s mind. He remains largely quiet as Linn is always monopolising the time with her singing and laughter.
In his quiet ways, Jonathan looks out of the window looking for interesting buses, cranes and STOP signs. On some occasions, he will shout out ‘Mummy, look at the Animal Bus’, ‘See the Monster Tree’ and when he is really curious, he will ask ‘Where are we going Mummy?’. On really bad days, he will take it literally and insist we stop the car to obey the STOP sign rule.
Whenever possible, i will glance at my little four year old and ask him what he did in school that day. Most of the time he ignores these questions as he continues to day dream. One day i tried so hard to probe that Linn said ‘I don’t think Kor Kor understand you, Mummy’.
If he can only share with me his thoughts…i will be so happy. Maybe one day.
But perhaps he just likes to daydream like Mummy. Whatever it is, i love you Jon.
