Today I received some information about Kylie and an incident involving a balloon from Tiffany. It turns out that Kylie was playing with a balloon in the living room when she accidentally let it go and it floated up to the ceiling out of her reach. She then walked over to the other side of the living room and walked to her chair, where she then said “get me high” and proceeded to carry her chair over to under the balloon, stood up on it and grabbed the balloon. She then climbed back down and carried her chair and the balloon back to the other side of the living room and put her chair back. This all happened around 4pm today and ever since she has been purposely letting go of her balloon and using the chair to retrieve it, at one point even commenting “too short” before standing on the chair to reach the balloon. She did all of this on her own without anything being said by Mommy or Aunt Sissy, who were both present to witness it. On one occasion the balloon had moved away from her while she was trying to reach it and Aunt Sissy made a comment to Kylie saying that it had moved, to which Kylie replied by promptly climbing down and re-positioning her chair under the balloon again. It is so fun to see her figure things out and solve issues. A child’s cognitive development is a truly marvelous thing to behold.
