LOVE this clip of Noa playing with her cousin Elecktra - just yesterday! This really show how much more interactive Noa has become. One of Noa's BFF's (and ours) Sheila, started doing this game with Noa a couple of months ago - and suddenly about a month ago she got the idea that she could do it to us - which she really enjoys. I think this is the first time she'd done it with another kid, and as you can see she really enjoyed it. Elecktra enjoyed it too and they played this game back and forth for a while.
It's hard to explain how wonderful it is for us to see Noa - at 6 - being able to play interactively like this! Just a case in point, yesterday there was a huge street party on our block; very kid/family oriented: bouncy rides, giant slide, face painting, photo booth, games, etc... but absolutely nothing for Noa. She would have loved the bouncy rides or giant slides, but grown-ups weren't allowed and since she couldn't do them alone she couldn't do them at all. You'd think that after a while, one would get used to the fact that your kid can't take part in these things - and on one hand that's true. On the other, Noa is such a fun-loving kid. It never stops being hard to be someplace where your kid can't be a part of the fun. Of course, on the third hand, Noa wasn't aware of missing anything. She loves the sound of fun and probably liked just wheeling through the fair on the way to the playground where she had a great time on the reliable ol' tire swing. And course, having this lovely moment later in the day made it a great day after all!
