More firsts: escalators
June 9th, 2006I always carry Z on the escalators but tonight Tomo took her up and down letting her walk on and off with help about a BILLION times. I did it once as well and Bernard got in on the action after dinner. Woohoo!
I should mention that doing things herself has been BIG lately in toddler land. Pushing, pulling, carrying things, getting up and down stairs, beds etc. by herself. Trying to put on and take off her clothes. (funny film clip of that if I figure out how to post it). Favorites include clasping the safety harness for her carseat (something untrained adults can barely do), she can now ALMOST do the top part of the 5 point harness. Doing adult things is even better. She wants to wear our shoes (VERY cute if not asking for a broken nose), and she wants to DRIVE. She LOVES to sit in the front seat and DRIVE. Car off, but she insists all doors be closed no matter how stifling. It’s funny to see which things she perceived as “grown up”. Using the toilet? Nah.
Falling asleep on her own, perhaps in her own space? No WAY! Trus I suppose we show no example of that…it’s not as though Tomo and I sleep apart in our separate spaces, why should she?
