Lately, I've started to ask her for all sort of "weird" things: Her reading a story to me, from one of the many children's books that are in her office. I've started to ask her for a childrens book whenever there is a break coming up. I've asked whether I could borrow one of her little figures that I sometimes use to visualize the imaginative work that we do together and that I have grown particularly fond of. I've changed seats. I've asked her to sit next to me...

I keep wondering what all that is about. Part might be the child/children 'testing' her. Or maybe even testing out the boundaries. It seems to me that they must start to feel safe with her, to trust her, because they actively start to talk about their wishes and needs. And part is my adult side. Taking care of my needs, or the needs of the children. Because I've noticed that breaks are 'easier' when she gives me one of her books to borrow and I can look at it whenever I want....
