The Long Crawl to Freedom

Margaux is getting to be quite the little wriggler these days! She'll clamber over any obstacle in order to reach her goal, which is usually a wide-open door. For a commando crawler, she's doing very well!

I usually manage to snatch her up before she can venture outside, but it's becoming more difficult to get her in time. And whoever decided that white is the best colour for children's clothes obviously never had kids... I can see now why we were never allowed white clothes when we were young!

A couple of times now I've stepped out of a room and she's managed to get as far as the door... and then close it in front of herself! It's a rather stressful situation all round: Margaux gets upset because she's stuck inside and can't open the door, and I get stressed because if I try to open the door I'll most likely hurt her. Nothing has happened that will cause permanent psychological damage, so fingers crossed...

No wonder everyone calls her a cutie!
