1.2.1 is now nine months old. She has been out of my belly as long as she was in it, and like when she was inside, she's not stopped moving. The wriggly roo is no longer dragging her wee body across the floor though. As of two weeks ago yesterday, her little fat knees decided to take on half the responsibility of getting her from A to B. Or should I say from one thing she shouldn't have to another? Cause of course, like every other child under the sun, she wants a computer cable over a chew ring, or a remote control instead of her toy phone, or a piece of cardboard over her book. I've got no problem not spending a ton of money on toys, cause she tends to disregard them for a dirty old shoe anyway.
She is currently experiencing bonny Scotland for the first time in her young life. I was very nervous about how it would go, especially since she's at the age where most children start to get nervous about new people, and was exercising this phenomenon a couple of days before we left. I thought this trip could either make or break her want to be held by other people. But, to my great relief, she turns out to be one of the most social little beings imaginable. Although, it has it's downsides. I stand near someone and she leans away from me and goes in for the kill. This is obviously fine when it's someone I know, but when it's on the bus and we're next to some dribbling drunk, I'm not quite as keen to share.
She's basically just charming the pants off of all and sundry. When she's in her buggy (stroller), and people walk past her, she looks up at every single one and has an expression that I can only imagine means, "look at me!" if they do, she smiles, if they don't, she makes another expression like "why aren't you looking at me!!?" She just wants to spread the joy.
I have a lot more to say on the subject of 1.2.1, but I will leave it hear for now, otherwise I may never post this post!
My Google search of the day "Montessori schools in the Phoenix area" More will be written about this, I have no doubt ; )
