Savannah has started this new trend of wanting the toy that is farthest away from her. She will have every ring off her pyramid of rings but the blue one that got away is the one that she wants. Sometimes her need to have the one that's farthest away has some consequences such as falling forward for the first time. As I sat on the couch watching her today I realized that this is just another stage in her development. She is amazed at the fact that she can stand with mommy's help. It's a child's prerogative to always been wanting something that's out of reach. Once they learn how to roll, that's fun for a while until they have to find something else that will entertain them just as much.
Then it got me thinking even more. Isn't that the way we are all wired!? We all want to reach for something. We all have a goal in mind and just sometimes that goal is slightly out of reach. We lean over to try to grab it but we can only feel a glimpse of it. So we sit back up and try once more until we finally get it within reach. We can learn a lot through a small child. Never to give up on that goal for someday either someone will come and hand it to you or you will finally figure out a way to reach it yourself.
