Three laughs
Today Annada did three new things that made me laugh out loud:
1) This morning I pulled her up in bed with me while I tried to adjust to being awake. She stood up on the bed and noticed it gave in a little. She paused for maybe 5 seconds then began jumping wildly up and down and giggling to herself.
2) Annada found the crown from her birthday party. She walked around with it for a few moments and then pulled out her hair bows and put on the crown. Several times I tried to fix her hair, but every time she would pull out the bows and replace it with the crown.
3) Annada is becoming increasingly skilled at climbing. She likes to stack objects so she can get to higher bookshelves, my computer, etc. But she hasn’t quite connected her feet with herself. So she uses her feet in the stack, pulls one out and gets painfully stuck when all her weight goes on the foot under the pile. It happened a few times today. The last time she was stacking books to get up in the bookcase. She was standing on a board book that her big toe was sandwiched in when she started crying. When I rescued her she pulled the wounded toe up to my face for a kiss!
I’ve been kissing her hurts for a while, but I didn’t know she cared. When I planted my lips on her toe, she grinned through her tears. I couldn’t help it – we both laughed.
