Nana smiled as she
looked in the rear view mirror. A
multi-colored Samuel was asleep in his car seat.
When complete silence
had been all that was heard, Dr. Anna and Nana had nodded and the observers
approached the room where three-and-a-half year old Samuel had been so busy,
laughing, giggling, and creating.
Nana opened the door
slowly, entering a transformed room. In
the middle of the room beneath the table, Samuel had curled up to sleep,
holding pristine shoes in his arms.
But, the room, oh the
room.
The floor was a swirl
of color that curled around the room, around and around.
How did
he…must have used his feet to scoot…No, it’s smoother than…What the… He used
the cardboard…Slip n’ Slide! My son
loves that…
In the corner were
the discarded and used up materials.
Gallons of white glue had been liberally streamed around the floor,
followed by squirt bottles of expensive acrylic paint.
Torn box lids lay around the room, showing
that Samuel had surfed, scooted, slid, twirled around the room many times. A trail of all colors remained behind him as
he laughed gleefully.
Then Dr. Anna pointed
to the walls where colors poured down the wall with little boy hand prints
creating waves upon waves. Oh, the hues
in those waves.
Nana tiptoed around
the paint to the wall beneath the observation mirror. Discarded markers lay in pyramid heaps. Her heart caught in her throat and tears
glistened in her eyes.
