I arrive at S’s daycare between 3:30 and 4pm. That gives us a couple of hours of play before his bedtime. I see him interacting with his friends through the glass door. The educator must have said something because he turns around and sees me. He pulls his arms down, clenches his fists and beams squealing in the kind of way J said I must have when I saw Gavin Rossdale from Bush when I was 14. S does this several times but doesn’t walk towards the door. Only when the educator opens the door and tells him to “go see mama” he walks over to give me a hug. He then promptly waddles off down the hallway, assured, to demonstrate his proprioceptive ability to be in the space, to show me that this is his territory.
