To see afresh

Last night Silas and I sat on the couch for "feshul" (special) time.
He eyed my laptop: "I want to write letters. Green letters."
So I opened a Word document and put the computer on his lap.
Using his pointer finger he carefully picked a letter.
"v"
...
"v v v"
...
"Lots of v's!"
...
"What does this button do?"
"Try it"
(a back slash)
"oh!"

After he had typed for a bit, his page looked like this:

vvvmvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv\v\
\\\vvv\\\\\\\vvvvvvvvv\v\vvv\vvv\vvvvvvv\v
v\vvv\v\vvv\vv\vv\vvv\\v\v\vv\v\\\\\vv\v\v
\v\v\v\\\\\\\\vv\v\v\v\v\v\vv\v\v\\vv\v\\vv
\v\v\v\\v\\vv\v\v\v\vvvv\v\v\vvvvv\v\v\v\v\
v\v\v\v\v\v\v\v\v\v\v\v\vv\\\\\vvvvvvvvv\v

He paused, leaned back and looked at what he'd made.
"It's a strawberry farm!"

Then we played with capslock -- big B little b,
J's, I's, then rows of I's:

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIII

Pause

He looked at the I's for a second: "I'm building something."

He typed more rows.

"What are you building?"

He looked up again.

"I'm building a wall:"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII


He built for a few more minutes and then was done.

Right now he is standing on my chair driving Percy the train on my head,
down my arm, occassionally down my face (this is met with some words...),
and saying, "Could you put Eden to bed now?" (he's the morning nap police)
and "I love you Mommy" which means, you just spoke in a stern tone.

He just looked up at the screen and said, "Oh, is that what I made?"

I'm going to try to be a little more like Silas and see strawberries in my Word documents. Here's the whole thing-

vvvmvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv\v\
