Today Ingrid took a few shaky steps on her own. Very shaky. For some reason she chose to do this experiment in the bath. I remember that she also started pulling herself up to standing in the bath first. I wonder why… is it because the whole atmosphere is so full of splashy joy there? Or because it hurts less to fall on her bottom when the fall is cushioned by water? But her bottom is quite well padded in cloth nappies during daytime as well… Maybe it was just a coincidence.
Wow, my name is Ingrid Johanna too! And I’m German. Want to know some other coincidences? My mother’s name is Heidi, and a Johanna wrote the original story “Heidi.” Cool huh? Well anyway, I’m actually 13, and, could you e-mail me back sometime?
Oskar started walking in the swimming pool – having water around must be a little bit less scary. I’m sure it’ll go very fast from now on and she’ll be running by next week :)
