“Creationship.”
What a lovely word. A word that requires some explanation(ship).
Sydney just started kindergarten. This is the beginning of week two and she already has nightly homework. Unbelievable, but also really fun. It’s her and Daddy’s time. Patrick is so good with teaching and pulling out of her a desire to learn.
So, her desire to learn also translates into a desire to teach…us…everything she learns…and now she wants us to do homework too…the same homework! Her assignment was to make a paper lunchbox and decorate it in any way she wants in order to share with her class and help them get to know her. So fun. She loved it…and promptly came home wanting each of us to make one to share with each other. The request went something like this:
“Mommy and Daddy, will you play with me? Ok, this is what we’ll do! We’ll each make a lunchbox and you can decorate it any way you want. It’s your creationship. Whatever you want to do with your creationship is ok. This is my creationship…” and on and on about Creationship. I couldn’t help but smile at the coining of such a wonderful word. I have no idea where it came from. We’ve certainly never used it…but WHY NOT? It’s so smart and so accurate! We are creatures who create. We are relational beings who enter into relationship…even through our own creations. We were meant for this: Creationship.
It’s such a great word!
What a great Sydney word! Please don’t give up on the blog – I love it! Lets me feel connected with the daily things that go onl. XXOX mom
