Focus
by carolynholm
Hey Mom,
I found my crinkly toy!!!!! It was under the sofa!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
I’m so glad you found it.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I love our new game!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
It is fun, isn’t it! Who knew that tossing a crinkly foil ball high in the air would be such a great game. You are so good at leaping up and catching it! All that grace and athleticism!
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Dad says I would be a good basketball player.
Winston
Dear Winston,
Well, for the first minute or two. Before you get distracted. Then the toy just bounces off your forehead.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Dad says Puffin never gets distracted.
Winston
Dear Winston,
Puffin brings a very intense focus to his game. That’s why he is so good at it. When you and I are playing your game, you tend to start out strong and then forget what you are doing, and your head starts swiveling around. To stare at the ceiling, or the window, or at Puffin.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I forget what we were talking about.
Winston
Dear Winston,
What a doofus you are, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
We can’t all be serious like Puffin.
Winston
Dear Winston,
He is serious. Serious about dinner, for instance. He tucks right into it. But you start eating, get side-tracked, look across the room, and forget what you’re doing.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Look at this! Here’s the crinkly ball again!
Winston
Dear Winston,
It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Get ready!!! I feel a Zoomie coming on!!!!!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
That was a wild gallop.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
What’s that dot on the ceiling?
Winston
Dear Winston,
Who knows. What dot? You were racing through the house when you stopped to stare at the ceiling. I don’t even see a dot.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Here’s my crinkly toy!!!!!!!!!
Winston
