Do it myself

When I held e last night, singing to her before putting her in bed, I was taken back about eighteen months to the days when I was just beginning to take care of her.  She was so little yet strong, cheerful and loving.  She is still all those things, just a lot bigger!  Her favorite words seem to be "do it myself."  And most of the time we let her try, if the activity is safe.  Yesterday afternoon for the first time I saw her put her right leg over the edge of the crib and convinced her that was not a good plan.  But I imagine it won't be long till she learns to climb out of bed.

E and K plan to leave this morning for the long drive up here, bringing both cars full of items they didn't want to put in storage.  I expect it may take a few days to settle back in.  Tomorrow K will go see the new house in person for the first time.  I hope he likes it!
