My 10 month old son recently realized he could reach the fruit bowl. This has been a wonderful discovery, for both him and me. He enjoys stealing apples. I enjoy watching his mischievousness. Sure, when he's a little older, I won't be as happy to watch him get into trouble. But for now, while he's so doggone cute, and merely stealing apples, I will revel in this innocent test of ability.
In his theft, one apple never seems enough. He gets one, but then after a few bites seem to want a greater challenge. At that point, apple in hand, he tries to pull himself up to get another. This is more difficult than one might realize, since getting to the fruit bowl a second time with one hand full of apple is a serious feat. He can't yet stand on is own, so he needs those hands to help pull himself up. Yesterday, he was successful in his attempt.
However, procuring two apples is one challenge--keeping them both nearby is another.
Just thought you might enjoy seeing a little of this game in action....and hearing big sister (2 years old) trying to help in the event. :)
