Let me start out by saying that about a month ago, we took the front off of Leah's crib and put a bed rail up. It was just getting too hard for me to lift her up and over the front of the crib and we will at some point transition her to a big girl bed. One of the benefits of Leah's blindness is that she doesn't know how high she is off the ground, so we have just made sure to not let Leah get in and out of bed on her own. We have seen her a couple of times with her legs hanging off the edge of the bed about an inch above the ground. But since she couldn't feel the ground, she has given up on trying to get down. This was all working out well for us, until about a week ago. She finally got brave enough to let her feet get all the way to the ground. This has slowly progressed to standing up and leaning against the crib, getting all the way down and sitting on the ground, and finally today... I walked into Leah's room while she was supposed to be taking a nap and here is what I found when I went in Leah's room:
Aside from the fact that she was out and over at her changing table, clothes and blankets were strewn about her room. And, don't mind her pants half down... that's just her style! Our girl is getting to be a brave one! Let the fun begin!!
So cool Rachael. Need some new track shoes to keep up?
