Little Miss Adventurous

Sophie has always been very curious, but now that her motor skills are well developed, she sometimes gets herself into situations that she can't get out of. At the playground she can climb to the top of a structure, but then she can't get down. At home, she managed to get underneath our entry table and on top of the subwoofer, but then she couldn't figure out how to get back out of there. So of course mommy came to the rescue (after grabbing the camera) and got Sophie safely back to open space. Well wouldn't you know not a minute later she was back under that table, stuck and crying. I was tempted to let her work it out herself, but I didn't want to risk having her bump her head and have a bruise or other blemish on her face just before her birthday, which of course will be a day filled with picture taking. So mommy rescued the baby once again, but this time I told myself - be smarter than the baby. I set up a barricade and within a few minutes Sophie forgot all about her adventure and found something else to do. The lessons I get from her are never ending!
