HANDS! Genius! Woo HOO!
Sorry, I'm just a little excited. Today "Gigi" picked up a toy all by herself for the first time. She's figured out what her hands are capable of. I'm feeling sort of like Anne Sullivan with Helen Keller at the pump shouting "wa-wa!"
Don't tell me about the dread I must now live with, that everything she picks up for the next twelve months will go straight for her mouth. She's still working on that level of coordination. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy my girl genius.
About Me
- Mugs
- I'm originally from North America and I work in the travel industry. I started this blog when I was living in Baltic Europe and wanted to keep family and friends updated on my first pregnancy. I took maternity leave for a year, and came a little closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up - but alas, the job of "Katharine Hepburn" was taken. So after fifteen months of Stay-at-Home-Mom-hood, I returned to the workforce in January 2006. My husband and I have a daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006 (known on this blog as "Gigi" and "Halley" respectively). My company transferred me to a nice warm island in July 2006, where I get to spend the next three years (at least!) So why the name "Purple Scare"? Because when I created the blog, I was living behind the Rusted Iron Curtain, and I like the color purple more than red. Write me at purplescareblog@gmail.com.
