[Here caught practicing her headstand - this and ice and some footwork are all things she's been picking up from watching Judge play around at home sometimes]
And not only are the doors to the bedrooms sliding doors that she can open and close on her own as well (now she no longer gets her fingers caught in the slide either, yay safe little fingers!), allowing her to roam safely as well as play a great game of peek-a-boo (or 'borte, borte, borte' as it is still known as in this house).
And not only do we just have matresses on the floor in our bedroom that she can also easily get on and off by herself.
But the big winners are the big windows and their windowsills. In Norway housings are required to have at least 30cm of insulation in the walls. That gives potential for nice wide sills - perfect for little toddler-bums.
Thus I often find the ever active Leona just chillaxing there, gazing out on all there is to see (cars, people, birds, dogs, scooters, greenery, and more).
Put this all together and we get this afternoon: When I got home from work I stopped right inside the door to listen for some sounds, as she is often at the tale-end of her nap, and heard none. So I quietly walked in - saw the door to the bedroom was open...odd...peeked inside and saw Judge laying on the bed fast asleep, but no Leona, looked right and saw her sitting quietly in her sill-corner. Found out later that she had woken up 20 minutes before I got home.
What a great life eh!
Sometimes she will sit there with just her thoughts.
Sometimes she will bring a snack (this she had snagged from the grocery bag and Judge found it later laying right there, and a red, juicy mess down her front - she had successfully chomped through her first ever whole tomatoe with just her two-and-a-bit front teeth):
[Pillow is there as it is a great after-work-lay-down-nursing-spot as well]
And sometimes she brings her waters. These she also needs to bring to bed with her. She is quite attached. She's also quite attached to her three spoons (sippy cups and spoons all gifted to her from a lady who obviously knows what's up!) - but unfortunately she has managed to disappear two of the spoons...and a toothbrush...and Judge's earphones.
We hope she will lead us to her stash some day soon, as we have searched high and low for it already to no avail.

Have you pulled out that black thing that the TV sits on and looked behind it? I'm kind of guessing that they went down there along with other assorted objects (clothespins, anyone?)

ReplyDeleteYeah, that was one of the first places I looked (the one in front of the window where she hangs out) - found a few starting-to-shrivle grape-halves, but no spoon or toothbrush(note pulling it out and cleaning there is now a part of my regular cleaning routine hehe).
ReplyDeleteA week or so after I posted this, however, Judge found one of the missing spoons under the fridge. Few days after that I found the missing toothbrush in a clothes drawer (which means its disappearance was not due to Leona stashing it, as it was in a drawer high up, so it had to have been me scooping up some clothes and dumping them in there...hrm).
*However*, after reading your comment just now I thought to check the section of the black thing the TV is actually on, and waddayano - what was once three is now three again! Wooooop :D
