Taking a stand


Yup. Addie has recently mastered pulling up. Down went the crib mattress to the lowest level and out went the beautiful crib bumber. You shall be missed crib bumber!

I am roused in the mornings by Addie chatting away to toys, to the mobile, to her hands and to whatever catches her fancy, real or imagined. One bleary eye opened, I peak over to the crib which now resembles a pink cage more then her cushy palace digs of weeks past. She can frequently be seen standing up looking around the room and when she spots me sitting up (finally) I get a big toothy smile.

Of course this new skill also means that the coffee table is Public Enemy No. 1. She pulls everything off it not to mention those extra sharp edges. She hasn't fallen on to the table edges yet but she's bonked her head enough trying to pull up on everything else. Will the coffee table stay or be banished to the storage unit temporarily until her balance is more steady? We're still undecided on that one.

Addie has typed this message to everyone herself:

You could affix swimming pool noodles, slit lengthwise, to the coffe table edges with some of that glue that is used to seal junk mail, rubbery stuff that peels off when its job is over.

I'm full of unusual ideas, you know.

Clever Addie adding a height dimension to her world - and clever Mit! Not only would the noodles be absolutely safe but there is a family attachment to idling in Karen's pool on them, and many pleasant memories.

My take is Addie has begun to write a libretto which Cap should score. I am thinking a high whine in the strings followed by a brief low melodic moan in the cello/bass followed by a slightly staccato pickup in the reeds, perhaps following key position on the keyboard. What do you say, Cap? Addie's and your first joint composition?
