We were kicking the blue soccer ball around the back yard this morning, then e indicated we should get the stroller and take a walk. She pointed left at the corner and we headed west. We soon crossed the street and walked down a block we hadn't visited before, then turned toward home since I didn't have on my walking shoes and didn't want to go too far. By this time e was ready to walk but I made her wait till we had crossed back over the big street. She pushed the stroller a bit before saying she wanted to run alongside. We paused in front of a house with some large blow-up decorations: a Santa, a Mickey Mouse snow globe, a snowman, some Chrustmas trees, another snow globe, and colored lights lining the walk. Real eye candy!
We continued running, and e fell, perhaps because she doesn't always watch where her feet are going. She cried a bit, but I encouraged her to just get up and brush off her hands then keep going. A woman walking toward us saw all this and offered e a "high five" as she passed us, and e responded timidly.
Yesterday I wrote about e dropping her bear out of the crib and being unable to reach it. Today I've just seen her drop Yellow Bear over the rail again, but straight down, and that allowed her to reach out and grab him, lifting him up till her other hand could reach over the rail and get him into the crib. I just love this video monitor! After about 40 minutes of playing, she seems to have fallen asleep, which is what happened yesterday.
