This morning, Rascal was in an exploratory mood. This is not anything out of the ordinary lately, but it was particularly so this morning. She was going in and out of various rooms of the house and I was going along closing the doors I didn’t want her in. She came back to the main living area and sat down to play. This only lasted a few minutes and she was off again, this time heading for her bedroom. There wasn’t much in there that was unsafe, so I relaxed in my computer chair and kept researching for her upcoming birthday party.
Occasionally, I would walk over to the edge of the living area and peek into her room to see what she was doing. The first time I looked she was playing with a doll from her basket of stuffed toys. The second time she was leafing through a book. The third time I checked in response to a strange noise I heard from the room. When I walked over to her bedroom door to work out what the noise was, she smiled cheekily at me, reached over and closed the door in my face.

I was equally shocked and amused! Here is this, not-quite-one-year-old, already trying to keep me out of her room! If she’s at this level now, imagine what she’ll be like when she’s five... or eight... or fourteen!
