Beckett turned 4 yesterday. Taught me something important, like she always does.
We started by turning everything into a rainbow-colored extravaganza.
Rainbow Hoodie - Check. Rainbow Top - Check. Rainbow Socks - Check.
Rainbow Painting - Check. Rainbow Cake - Check.
So now I'm thinking this one is going to grow up to be a fashionista.
The whole day passes and then we get home from school.
Now she wants to build something.
So we build (in her own words) 'The Outside Machine'.
And since it is 'The Outside Machine' (The cardboard, string, paper thingy in her hand), we had to take it outside to the Embarcadero.
The White thing (Yogurt container) is the 'Cyran Moon'. It is supposed to be used to see, run, and play in the darkness.
The Red thing (Cardboard box) is the 'Cyran Ambulance'.
It is supposed to keep everything inside it safe.
It houses The Thread (thread) and The Kite (wrapping paper).
Tomorrow it'll house something else.
The correct way to use 'The Outside Machine' is as shown in the picture above.
In this picture, she is demonstrating how Not to use 'The Outside Machine'.
Now I'm thinking she'll grow up to be an Engineer.
And as I'm typing this, I find myself smiling and realizing (and correcting my cognitive bias) that the Fashionista / Engineer choice is not a MECE (Mutually Exclusive Collectively Exhaustive) one.
Maybe she'll grow up to become a Fashionista engineer storyteller.
Happy Birthday. And thank you for the lesson.
