Ingrid has mostly understood that plants are not for playing. Either that, or she’s just trying to lull me into a false sense of security, and then when I look away she will attack them all at once. Seriously, she now actually passes the plants on her way to the CD player, which is a lot more fun because it has a pile of nice hard shiny CD cases that one can play with.

The earth in the flower pots on the other hand is still of great interest. I’m starting to give up on keeping her away from that. As long as she isn’t actually pulling it out and wilfully throwing it around, she can poke at it if she wants to… Of course poking is not what she’s really after; she wants to put the earth in her mouth. My hope now is that she will discover after a while that earth really isn’t such a good thing for babies to eat. Today she already threw up after eating some (probably more than I realised).
