~:: Lessons We Learned in St. Fe 2 ::~

when you live with

Big Brothers who have adventures,

but you are small – very, very small –

a lot of your life is just – sitting around.

Oh, you can reach for things –  but if you really want to get anywhere or anything, you have to learn Rule Number Two:

How to crawl.

Here we see Sand, who has spent weeks flirting with the concept – failing to make his knees do anything but push him backwards – make great progress.  On this day, in this striped suit, with this Mama’s encouragement –

his knees

manage to – in a very crab like, but swinging from side to side manner –

finally begin to propel him forward.

Acres of carpet are crossed.

Ta-DAAA!!!!

A whole new world opens up.  Once the knees catch on, you may not yet be able to catch Big Brother, but you can at least give it a go.

What you can run down are the laps of beloved sitting people, and since you already know how to climb (a little bit), this is a very good thing.
