This morning during breakfast, we had Meg on the kitchen floor in her Bumbo seat. She started stretching and squeaking, in that "I can't reach. Want! Want!" sort of way. So I asked Jonathan if she'd dropped her pink monkey and froggie.
"She has," he said, "but what she really wants is this." He pulled over the giant green paper towel bag into her reach - and sure enough, that was it! She started grabbing at it and playing with it - right-handed.
So after a minute or two, he turned her Bumbo around so she'd have to use her left hand instead. That didn't work so well, and what she initially tried to do was figure out how to get her right hand over there. Her parents were mysteriously uncooperative about turning her back, but she did finally get it with the left. We also mysteriously wouldn't let her eat it once she had it.
So: Meggie is not a lefty, and she's starting to notice things in her environment (and want them). Cool!
