Having just gotten back from Malaysia, which included something like 10\nseparate flights (two each direction, and some round-drip excursions within\nMalaysia), Anthony certainly had plenty of time to absorb the “airport\nexperience.” So I thought<\/span> it only slightly odd when he wanted me to make a\n“baggage checker” (baggage X-Ray machine) out of paper and tape. What he\ndid with it, well, I thought<\/span> amazing.<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>Airport Security Gate, Anthony\nStyle<\/span><\/div>\n\n

The white paper thing in the center is what I made<\/span> for him, under his\nclose direction and supervision (of the luggage chute, for example, he\nanimately directed that “this needs to slope down”). The rest he<\/span> did while\nplaying all by himself...<\/p>\n\n

To the upper-right is a desk with the X-Ray video display, and a chair<\/span>\nfor the person monitoring the video display. To the lower<\/span>-right is the\n“people checker,” with related barriers and such.<\/p>\n\n

(Scattered around the top of the picture are small pieces of luggage\nthat I'd made for him the other day, to fit in the trunk of a little<\/span> toy\ncar he has.)<\/p>\n\n

The previous post (“Amazing Cherry Blossoms in\nNorth-East Kyoto<\/a>”) featured Anthony playing with a bubble<\/span> maker. Bubble\nsoap being messy, it's for outside use only, but he liked that the fan\nturned when he pressed the button, and wanted to play with it inside as if\nit were an airplane. I said fine<\/span>, and a few<\/span> minutes later, he brought this\nto show me....<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>Bubblemaker → Airplane Conversion<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n

He cut and colored some wings, horizontal stabilizers, passenger\nwindows, and two windows up front for the pilots.<\/p>\n\n

I know I'm biased, but this is just amazing for a four<\/span>-year-old kid,\nno?<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
