Terrorizing the Parental Units With Milestones
Sadie has gone and done it again. Today’s milestones are the discovery that she can stick a finger in her nose, as opposed to merely touching her nose by way of identifying it, and climbing onto our bed by herself.
She was in the bedroom with the door mostly closed. I knocked and pushed the door open slowly, after a pause where she might have started opening the door for me if she was standing behind it, admiring herself in the mirror.
There she was, on the bed, playing happily with an unused diaper.
I asked Deb if she’d left Sadie on the bed. “She’s on the bed?” That confirmed my impression she’d climbed there.
We made a fuss over her accomplishment, while being taken aback at the implications. Later Deb witness Sadie’s method. She uses the frame as a first rung, the protruding edge of the box spring as another, then gets up the rest of the way from there, easy as can be.
On another note, packing sucks.
