Growing

Yesterday was one of those days when I was tired and wished e would have taken her second nap.  Yet, looking at her play with the beads on stiff wire toy (like we saw on a larger scale at the dentist's office when our girls were younger), how could I wish to be elsewhere?  She is exploring her environment, rolling around the living room, attracted by Oscar's rubber toy, trying to pet the cat, "talking" loudly and enthusiastically, sitting up by herself for 20 minutes or more...she is growing up!
