3 December 08

After a brief pause the sunny weather is back. Nick and I got lunch from an amazing wholefood cafe near his office: no meat, dairy, eggs. It was extremely tasty and very filling fare. Emily played at the playground, in the shadow of a fantastic ginkgo tree fully 60+ feet high and ablaze with pure gold leaves (didn't have the camera with me, regrettably).

After returning home for lunch , play and a nap, we went to KSpace for the second time this week. This was a 'make-up' class for the one we missed last week, and was for smaller babies ('wrigglers', as the class name calls them). Emily was by far the oldest and most mobile; most of the others were under 6 months, and one was only 9 weeks old. She was lording it over them, taking up position on top of the big drum in the middle. When we go to the crawlers class she is a lot less bold; must be the 'big fish in a small pond' effect.

At home before tea she surprised me by standing up behind her baby walker and pushing it across the room. This is the first time she's done it at home, and completely unprompted.
