It was neat for me to watch Havana and Jonah. Havana wanted to play Skeeball, but she didn't always grasp the concept. She quickly grew bored and then played a game on one of the rides. She imagined she was a "wonder pet" and would sing the wonder pet theme song as she road this ride. She certainly was in her own little world and it was captivating to watch.
Jonah, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with the rides. He insisted on playing any of the ball games. He played the pop-a-shot with his dad and the child version of one. If you tried to redirect him he would get frustrated and say, "ball" and just walk back to one of the ball games. There were some older kids (about 8) there and they were playing basketball and Jonah walked up to them with no fear and said "ball" and tried to play with them. It was so funny to watch!
As I took all of this in I noted how Havana and Jonah are so wonderfully different. Havana is shy, she enjoys singing, she uses her imagination to pretend she is part of a TV show... Jonah doesn't think twice about going up to older kids, he only wants to play ball... don't try to make him do anything else. It was fun to watch their personalities gravitate towards their passions. I love that my kiddos are different and into different things. I am looking forward to discovering more about Selah's interests. Each child is fearfully and wonderfully made!
