As she always does, Aurora humored me for a little bit and
played with her new shooting stars in the way I had envisioned.
We stood at
the sidewalk and shot them into the hula-hoop. She smiled gently as we played. Then, at her request, I returned my camera to the apartment,
and we continued we played with the stars in a manner that she deemed more fun
– we took the stars for a walk, put them in and out of clover patches, and
carried them close to our chest.
