The solution? You are rolling everywhere! You started out by just rolling one direction, but as you have been doing more of it, you have become multi-directional. And you newest technique: you aim and roll. No, I am not kidding – you look around the room to find a target that you want to roll to, then you rotate around until you are perfectly lined up, and then… you speed roll towards you goal; fast and accurate.
Your favourite targets include cabinets (the contents of which you meticulously remove one by one), book shelves (the contents of which you also like to remove) and hi-fi equipment (so many buttons to press, and a wonderful way of getting daddy’s attention quickly).
You are teaching me that just because we can’t do something one way, there is always a different way. “Should be…” isn’t important, but “I can” means everything. When something doesn’t work, giving up isn’t an option, but trying as many times as it takes to make it work is the path forward. You remind me that getting frustrated along the way may happen, but to never lose sight of the giggles and laughs waiting at the end to celebrate the accomplishments. Oh, and you are teaching me to roll around the floor with you – thank you for reminding me to have fun in everything I do.
