Like the speed of light
January 31, 2006
The first time I looked away for a few seconds and Mia was missing it was a little shocking. But I quickly found her. After all she was only a few feet away, just behind the ottoman.
Up until yesterday though, she hadn't left the family room. Now she's found that there's a whole house for her to explore.
How long does it take to get up and pour a glass of kool-aid? 20 seconds? In this time Mia has figured out how to leave the room and crawl into our bedroom. I came back with my drink and didn't see her. I figured she'd gone into the corner again like she usually does so that I can't see her from this angle. But when I go to look, she's not there either! What? Then I hear some rustling from our bedroom. I go in to check it out and there she is checking out a shopping bag from the day before.
She's been to every room now by herself. I followed her from a distance to see what she'd do and she went all the way up to the front door and stood up to look out those windows. I got her down from there because I had visions of her cracking her head open on that hard ceramic tile, but she wasn't deterred. She went into the living room, then crawled around the dining room table, then went down the hall to check out her room and started into her bathroom. I decided that floor wasn't the cleanest to be playing on so I turned her around again and she went back out to the kitchen after taking a brief peek into the office. She got a little lost at this point, but I showed her how to leave the kitchen and go through the breakfast nook to get back to the family room. I just told her to come this way and she followed me right out. What a little explorer she is!
