observation



greta and i spent some time in her room today, in between two stroller rides (thanks janet for lending us the jogging stroller!). greta played while i did some re-arranging. in the picture there are three toys which i laid in front of greta for her to play with. she plays a little more vigorously now, so all three ended up out of her reach. i took this picture, and then i sat and watched her. she pulled on the blanket, by accident or on purpose i am not sure. pulling the blanket towards her caused the toy that was on the blanket to come closer to her as well. and sure enough, the toy was reached. it was pretty cool to watch...

I LOVE this "observation" entry. It's hard to put exactly- but it makes me wish we were all sitting around talking about all this cool stuff in person. It's so neat to see you, Melanie, who already are so expert in early childhood development, observing your own daughter!! And it's so cool to watch Greta grow up (even in just 6 months!) Maybe this doesn't make a lot of sense- it's hard to say exactly what I mean-- I just loved this blog entry! PS- got your message- I'll call soon- this week has been nutty!
Love, Katie
