Sim

Simeon is on the move, and it's impressive. This morning we had a visit from the local cousins. The kids all blithely set up their Duplo village on the floor...but Hurricane Sim was on the move, and the city planners had their hands full trying to fend him off. "Umm, Aunt Monica, how do we keep Hurricane Sim from getting our buildings?" Meanwhile, Hurricane Sim was happily chewing on the building he'd just wrested from the city.

There were other surprises in store: "Hey! Sim's under the bench! Haha!" "Hey! Sim can really crawl fast! Haha!" "What do you mean, Hannah, that Simeon sweeps the floor?"

Developmental milestones happen awfully quickly at this stage, and I think it's been a while since the cousins have seen Sim with free range. Often at parties he's passed around and not allowed to get down and eat and drink the stuff that people foolishly leave on or near the floor.

Of course, this also means that I'm finding new stuff daily that I have to block off or move or be careful of...
