I Think It’s Fun…
Watching Sadie explore things in an almost scientific manner sometimes, learning about the world. We’re at the office, while Deb gets harassed by the doctor about her blood pressure. Sadie is wearing pink shorts with a shoelace-like pair of drawstring ends trailing down the front. She sat between my feet, playing with her strings, untying one of my sneakers, and holding a lace up next to one of her strings, feeling and examining both, comparing them side by side. She seems to be good at making logical connections, like this is a string and that’s a string, and they behave the same even though in some ways they are different. That happened with switches, too. The monitors all have different power button shapes and locations, but once she got what the power button on a monitor was, she extrapolated and the square versus round, or different location, didn’t matter.
