Six Kinds of Pleasure
Owen giggle, side kick in
the air, intensity of play, visualizing to create, protector of little ones,
sports and more sports
Westy sweet lisp of words,
dynamo, snuggle on his own terms, flat out enthusiasm, instigator, hockey in
the summer winter spring fall
Miles changing so quickly
from little boy to boy, spatial understanding with puzzles & Legos,
conversation with adults, tolerance of Westy/intolerance of Westy, swimming is
his thing
Hannah bilingual, piano,
Bouncing Bulldogs, dramatic spin, sensitivity, reader like Grandma Bene—“a book
in each hand”
Vivi bilingual, persistence,
imitation of her big sister, her own person, snuggler, observant
Ethan ultimate crafter,
ultimate planner, ultimate rule maker, loves drama, sports-theater
Fall 2014 draft
Inspired by
Three Kinds of Pleasures (poem by Robert Bly)
I started this when the cousins were here for Christmas in
2014, and didn’t get back to it, unfortunately. Ages then were: Hannah (7.5),
Miles (7), Ethan (5.5), Owen (5.5), Vivian (4), and Westy (4).
There have been no serious shifts in personality since
then! 9/13/15
