And speaking of little monkies who eat with their feet up, Francesca did something quite acrobatic today at Growing Seeds. We weren't there to get a picture so you will just have to visualize: Solid wood napping cradle, basically a big box with a mattress in it. She grabs the top with both hands , then puts both feet flat on the box and hangs there like a sweet little monkey till a teacher comes over and takes her down.

Sorry, I can't visualize how she could hang since the beds as I remember them are on the floor...?

Picture a solid wood (finished, polished, not raw) 3 sided box with a mattress in it. It's basically square, about 3 feet high and 2 1/2 feet wide. The third side is not there so you can easily put a kid down and they can crawl out of it. Anyway, so she's just barely able to reach the top of the box. Oh also she's on the OUTside of the box. Guess it just doesn't translate easily, because not that many people have seen what she was hanging on, unlike a story about a crib or chair... oh well. We need a picture of something similar--and still need to get some video of her standing!

Thanks, I kind of see it a little better, but a video of her at Growing Seeds would be fun-tabulus.
