On safety and television

Ryanne was up making her bed this morning.  Corin wanted to turn on the fan.  We discussed how it wasn't safe right now because she was sitting up.  She listed quite a few things that could get hurt by the fan with her sitting there.  I added a few more.

Corin then asked if we could do it when she was laying down.  I said no because she didn't always lay perfectly flat and we didn't want her to accidentally sit up and get hurt.  She said wiggled down to the end of the bed and looked over the rail out her door, "Yeah, and sometimes I get distracted by Chuck."

Looking at the angle...that requires some impressive acrobatics.

Slow down, little one

Ryanne decided she wanted egg salad for breakfast today.  I told her there were four hard boiled eggs in the fridge.  She got them out, peeled them, sliced them (with the egg slicer) and then came to ask for help getting spices.  I put salt and dill in it because she still has some trouble controlling the flow of those and I didn't want to have to throw it out because it was too salty.  She grabbed a spoon and the mayo and put some in the bowl.  She didn't want to stir it up so I got to do that.

Now, she's happily eating her creation.  One of her major comfort foods.  It took me a while to realize that it was a comfort food for her.  I guess all of those Fridays eating it in Japan really stuck.

I'm still not sure I'm ready for her to be that self-sufficient, though.
