I got to watch little EC playing a new fun game today. Sitting in her little play area, she and found yourself a sock, and an overturned plastic box that we use for keeping toys organized. (Clearly, the toys were not so well organized today.) I watched her as she figured out that she could put the sock on top of the box, and take it off. And then she would put the sock back on top of the box, and then take it off. She kept doing this for quite some time, with more or fewer flourishes involved. Sometimes she would place the sock gently on the box; other time she would toss the sock on to the box. But clearly, she was having a good time practicing a new skill, and a new fun game.

In other news, she started crawling the day after her 9th month. I suspect that within a week we will lose containment.
