Little She-Who-Is and the Divine Miss M came over to my place for pizza and ice cream last night while their mom and dad had a dinner out in the District. Although little "She" has been here many times and knows about all of my wonderful little things (the night lights, the flash lights, the stool that she sits on to have dinner, the nuggets, the kitty brush, MaDear's toy box, etc) the "Divine" had her own discoveries to make.

She was overjoyed to find that all of MaDear's cabinet doors and drawers open all the way, without locks. She loved being able to climb up on the chair and turn the computer monitor switch on and off without having to scale the gate that surrounds her Daddy's home office. And since I have a relatively simple TV and video system she was allowed to push all the buttons on both my remotes without discouragement. The best part for her was being able to have a "picnic" during dinner as I don't have a table or even a tv tray to set up for her but rather, the 3 of us just sat on the floor and as she explored one corner or another, she'd come back to this spot for another bite of pizza or spoonful of yogurt. She was in heaven not being confined to a high chair. And you've not known the expression of being overjoyed until you've seen it on the "Divine's" sweet face!
