I did it! I crawled this morning! Not the backward crawl, not the army crawl, but the 100% bona fide baby crawl! It happened so fast that I didn't really know what was happening. One second I was sitting, watching Blues Clues, then two seconds later, I was three feet away, dumping Winston and W's water bowl all over myself.
Mommy thought, hoped, and prayed that this would be a gradual process. She thought I'd take one little crawl-step and that would be it for awhile. She wasn't expecting me to motor around the room on the first try. If I know her, she is probably panicking at the prospect of me crawling into a Venetian canal next week or trying to crawl up and down the aisles of the airplane on the transatlantic flight.
Aside from the trip, this will undoubtedly turn Winston and W's world upside down as well. Their food and toys are now fair game as far as I'm concerned. I've desperately been trying to get into Winston's condo, much to mommy's chagrin, and now I can go there anytime I want (as long as mommy has her back turned for just a second).
Free at last, free at last! Until daddy puts up some more gates, I am free at last!
Let the games begin! Thatcher, I don't know why your Mommy was expecting you to gradually do this. She should have realized once you knew what your knees could do, all bets were off! You've been used to seeing the world up high, safe in Mommy and Daddy's arms. Just think of what delights there are to be found close to the ground! When you come to Aunt Sherri's house, you'll love it. You know that saying, you could literally eat off the floors- that's how it is at Aunt Sherri's house- you'll never know what delicacies you'll find underneath the kitchen table!And instead of dog food, I have yummy cat food. Well, have fun on your new big adventure. I love you very much!
