Yesterday, Sasha crawled up to me while I was sitting on the sofa, and scrabbled at me as though she wanted to snuggle. I sat down on the floor with her for some hugs and playtime. She stood up, looked me square in the eye to be sure I was watching, and then let go of me. With both hands.
She stood there on her own two feet for a good 10 seconds before she lost her balance and grabbed me again. I'm not sure what I'm more proud of; the ongoing refinement of her gross motor skills, or the fact that she obviously wanted to show me what she could do.
Today, I drove to Princeton, New York. I left at 10:30am for a 1pm meeting. I arrived at noon. Later, I left at 3:15pm and arrived home at 5:45. Somewhere in there is a parable for life in modern-day New York City. Curse that Verrazzano Bridge AND the horse it rode in on!
My kitchen is: Cluttery but blessedly free of cans and bottles. Win some, lose some.
