The physical world

Kateri discovered a number of things today. She climbed a full flight of stairs from the dining room to the library herself (not the first time). She's uncertain about how to get back down, but she has been examining that first step back with me sitting below. Later she stuck her fingers in a moving fan (non are any shorter) by my workspace and knocked over a tray table in the living room. Sometimes exploring hurts or is scary. But oh the sense of accomplishment when you reach those high places.

And an add from bedtime: she's fussy but when she gets on the bed she's ready to play. So she crawls toward the air conditioner even though I tell her "no." As she gets closer and I grab her, causing her to fall backwards onto the bed. What a great game she thinks as she pitches her self over backward time and again onto the soft mattress.
