Double fisting already

Vivie is very confident on her feet now and has moved on to working on the sippy cup. Here she combines the feats into one master task:



At Mom's group, Pip shows Nick his boo-boo.


Later after everyone left Pip had fun making Vivie laugh. She was well amused.



The next day we went to the library and Vivie discovered a new game of yanking all the books off the shelves. I remember when Pip and I first started going when he was small I worried that's what he would do. But he never did, he could have cared less about the books. Vivie on the other hand, started pulling them down one by one. At first I figured at least it was keeping her busy, so I'll roll with it, and I just put them back as she took them off. But she went faster ... and faster ... and faster. Soon I couldn't keep up and the pile of books on the floor was growing (she threw indiscriminately, while I had to sort alphabetically). Stopping was no longer an option. She was in book throwing heaven. So I began picking her up, plopping her across the library and running back to sort books. That little rascal practically ran back over and started yanking again before I got even two back on the shelves. I began creating barriers, attempting wild distractions .. nothing worked. Finally I employed some boxing out skills from my basketball days, got all the books up on the shelves, and told Pip it was time to go!
