- Climb in and out of the Lego toy bin for 6 minutes.
- Wander the house.
- Find paci – the long-lost friend- amid the nursery pile of baby blankets that are supposed to go there and certainly not in the crib where Mommy puts them with me to sleep.
- Talk to paci, reciting his name affectionately a handful of times before putting him in his right place – where he fits so well. Paci remains in my mouth for the next 24 minutes.
- Immediate hand to rub that one comfortable place on my belly. It always happens that way when paci is in place.
- More hallway walking.
- Climb up on the couch – oh the effort- and bang the blinds a while – what a joyful event!
- Talk to ride-on cow about the latest happenings.
- Throw all the blankets off the couch Rachael put up there for her babies earlier this morning.
- Drag one of the blankets back over to share with cow, resuming our intimate meeting by the cat tree.
- More hallway wandering.
- Drag the play guitar on the kitchen floor. It sounds so funny that it makes me smile.
- Roll on the living room floor while kicking my legs in the air.
- Try to ride the cat carrier.
- Eyeballs peeking up over the table edge and putting an arm up there in hopes of finding treasure.
- Smack a few magnets off the fridge as I walk by.
- Wooden puzzle time- putting all the circle piece on their pegs. Dumping over my head and redoing.
- Abandon puzzle.
- OOOOOH look! Mommy caught a meow! – HURRY! Hurry!
- Calling “Meow’s!” and confusion why they run when I just want to give them big hugs while squealing.
- Wander around looking for Rachael.
- Observe Rachael’s play.
- Show Daddy the necklaces Rachael dropped.
- Laugh and flap my arms in excitement that he might put them on me.
- Wear necklaces with pride – parading through the playroom.
- Turn a few nearby toys in my hands to inspect them.
- Join in Rachael’s marching-band parade with the addition of jingle bells.
- Oh look! Books!
- Abandon parade route and instrument.
- Commence edible book review.
- Talk to Daddy on play phone, then give Mommy a turn.
- Run to Mommy saying, “neigh, neigh” and flapping my arms so she’ll put me on the rocking horse.
- “Down” gets me off.
- Laughing that “down” worked.
- Ooooh! Daddy’s putting Rachael in her food chair! How exciting! RUN!
This has been a 35 minute walk in her little shoes.
– love her.
