the window assignment

The picture: Through a first floor window on 9th st, between 5th & 6th ave, I see an adult holding a toddler and the family’s pet cat is sitting on the windowsill. The child is held in midair, about a foot from the woman’s body. They are looking at each other, but his arm is outstretched, reaching or pointing towards the window. They’re standing relatively close to the window and I can’t see the floor or back of the room.

Scene 1
Mother: Your diaper is clean… Are you hungry? Do you want some Cheeeeeerios?
Husband, from across the room: What’s wrong with him?
Mother: I don’t know. He’s being fussy but his diaper is just fine and it’s not his usual naptime.
Husband: Maybe he wants to go outside; look he’s pointing to the window!
Mother: Tommmmmy? Do you want to go play on the swings?
Boy: Swingsss!
Mother: Yes! Maybe your friends are there too… (Turns to husband.) Honey, do you want to come to the park with us?
Husband: Uhhh…Okay, but I gotta go back to work soon.

Scene 2
Nanny: We have to clean up the room, Mickey. Mommy’s coming home soon.
Boy: She’s outside!
Nanny: Yes she is! Want to look out the window? See if she’s almost here?
(They get closer to the window. Cat meows.)
Boy: Kitty!
Nanny: Well, it doesn’t look like mommy’s on this block yet. We still have to clean up after playtime and feed the cat.
