“Blue! Sky!”, they happily repeated. “Sky with clouds! Blue sky and white clouds! Brown trees and brown dirt!”. They were very excited just learning words and repeating them, speaking. Speaking was fun!
“Blue white brown!! Colours!”, they wanted to know about everything! Every colour and thing! They loved hearing about every little thing!
Quinton listened and chuckled, nodding encoragingly to every word that they got right. “And the grass, and leaves are green.” He adds, looking around for other things to teach and say.
“Do you know the bits about you?” He questions, leaving a pause mainly to re-engage the little one. Before he gently took the others hand. “Your hands, and your fingers.” He danced his own finger over each digit. “For touching, and holding, and doing lots of things with..”
He stopped again, and moved his other hand, this time, deciding on something fun, the flame reappeared in his palm, but within a few moments, the flames flickered out and he had an empty colouring book, and a packet of pencils. “Would you like to play with more colours?” He offers, holding out the new items.
“Greeen!”, they happily giggled, nodding. They looked curious when Quinton took their hand, watching. Oh! Hands, and fingers! They smiled, happy to be learning.
They watched entranced when Quinton made something appear in his hand, eyes wide. “Play with colours!”, they nodded, excited. They wanted to do that! That looked so nice and fun!
