Parenthood

You remember that kid in the movie "Parenthood" who ran around the house with a bucket on his head all the time? I used to think that was staged. And then I had Robyn. At present, I am watching her try to navigate our bedroom with a paper bag on her head and I'm thankful that at least she has found something to entertain herself that is fairly safe. Never let it be said that this child can't find her way out of a paper bag! Not only can she find her way in and out of it, she can find her way all the way around the perimeter of our room. She is really into discovering grown up stuff right now. For instance, before the bag on the head trick, she wanted to make sure her hair looked just right. So, she went to my drawer in my bathroom, where I in fact keep my brushes. Only, she pulled out the lint roller instead and proceeded to use it on her head. Yeah, that didn't go so well. So, she moved on to the paper bag. And they say enjoy them while their young!? How do you keep up with a child who moves faster than lightning and has a curiosity to rival Curious George!!?? Oi, parenthood.
