On the Move

I don't think it technically counts as crawling yet. It's more of a tummy pull slide maneuver with the occasional barrel roll. Whatever it is, the other kid is getting around. So much so that while my back was turned earlier today, he moved all the way over to the cat's water dish and dumped it all out on the floor and himself. And even while typing these few sentences he's gone from one end of the room to the other to get the cat's ball, then back to the other end to eat his brother's crayons, and even though I pick him up and move him to a safer locale, he's not only mobile, he's determined, back in the same spot seconds later.

This is not a phase of parenting we've had to worry about before, the phase where absolutely nothing anywhere on the floor is safe, and neither is turning your back. Seems like a lot of fun. Relaxing, too.
