Or in this case, with the leaf of the plant in your hand. Britanny’s grandma Jen had a nice plant sitting in a vase on the counter. I say had because the vase existed until a few hours ago. At that point B grabbed the plant and tossed it onto the ground. There was a bang, and a wide-eyed baby looking around. Although she cannot talk, you could see that she was wondering what was going on. But we knew! She had pulled the plant trying to play with a leaf. Instead she threw it on the ground. If you had any doubts about the culprit, you had to look no further then Britanny’s hand. In it was a tightly grasped leaf- she was caught red handed.
Quite frankly I am surprised that this vase was the first thing that Britanny broke. This past month has been the month of pulling things out of Britanny’s grip. Anything that goes within a foot of Britanny's hands is in danger of being pulled and eaten. Dinnertime is the most risky, as she keeps reaching for the table cloth like there is no tomorrow. All she wants to do is hold all the dishes like a big girl. Unfortunately, as the vase so plainly proved, dishes should be scared of Britanny. It's only a matter of time before one of them ends up on the ground.
It's not that I don’t think that I can keep Britanny away from the dishes. It is the fact that I am extremely clumsy, and I know that this has been passed down to my daughter. We have lost many a dish to my hand-eye coordination (or lack there of). That’s why I keep non-expensive dishes around. I knew it was only a matter of time before Britanny’s clumsy gene kicked in. Today’s vase experience just confirmed that in my mind. So beware all breakables- the Gallea girls are coming after you whether we know it or not!
