Strings and Dangly things

There are certain things we cannot pass by without touching. Ever since we showed you the light/ceiling fan strings and the chimes, you've had an obsession. Honestly, you're quite lucky Mommy & Daddy will overhead press you up to the strings and patiently hold you there while you pull. *Which leads to the kinda cool part...babies need time to process and I can watch this in you. I can see the wheels turning in your head...seeing the string, telling your hand to reach, fine motor skills to open and grasp, gross motor pulling, and the emotional response of success!*

I love how you look for fans, light up when you see them, and become entranced watching them. Then the strings come into view. I've realized your temper tantrums aren't hatred for the changing table. They are frustration that we didn't first play with the fan cord. It's really helped Mom's ears to figure this out!

Kitchen chimes are the other fun one. If you didn't aggressively whip the clacker around, I'd let you play with them all the time. Until "gentle" has meaning, we'll have to satisfy you only with a quick touch. That is, until your fine motor skills catch up and start moving quicker than Mom can move them out of your grasp!
