Yesterday, we got our first lesson in "If she's being quiet, check on her." I put her in her walker and scooted her to the middle of the computer room floor. I proceeded to put away a few things and organize some stuff on the art supply organizer thingy. She had been happily chattering and banging around on her walker, and then she was silent for a few minutes. Upon realizing she was quiet, I turned around to see what she was doing.
She had her hand planted firmly in the potted Mother-in-Law's Tongue that is in the foyer (fancy!). She also had miracle gro dirt on her face, around her mouth (indicating she had tasted it and deemed it not yummy), and all over her hands and walker. Woo!
She had her first experience being babysat at home while we were over an hour away this past weekend. Aunt J came down to sit with her and all went well, apparently. Hey, Aunt J... did ya have to deal with any blowouts?? LOL! I hope not.
I never did mention the ear tubes surgery, did I? It went well. She was out of our sight for a total of about 12 minutes and then she cried and cried for half an hour. I am pretty sure it was only because she didn't understand why she felt all loopy, and it scared her a little. But we came home and she slept for a while and then she was her normal silly self.
