New tricks

The joy of a parent is seeing a child progress from total dependency to making ever greater strides towards independence.  Last night, with the spare mobile phone I gave her after I upgraded, she was taking photos of her meal (pasta pesto bolognese).  This morning, she work up at 7.30 a.m.  My wife heard this 'clump-clump' as she climbed out of her cot, her feet hitting the floor.  Kimberley walked along the corridor, down the stairs, took her nappy off and used the potty.  She then spent ten minutes downstairs in the living room playing before coming upstairs to demand attention from us (specifically Altaa; I stayed asleep).  That ten minutes of self-play will increase with time.
