Usurper has started to walk everywhere she can in her quest for ultimate freedom - soon to be followed by world domination. I must say it frightens me to think exactly what she will be like when she can get anywhere she wants to go. She is already determined to climb everything in sight, and soon she will be able too. The joy that follows the ability to climb everything is the desire to jump off every thing.

But that is in the future and instead of worrying about that now, I am too amused watching her wandering around the house. I don’t know about other babies, but Usurper in her current state looks like a combination of an Ewok and a puppet with the strings cut. This stagger walk with her arms above her head for balance cracks me up every time I watch it. So I’ll enjoy it while I can, because the future is going to be a dangerous place.

Of course for Usurper the present is also a dangerous place, because since she started walking Little Miss is in risk of loving her baby sister to death. I keep coming in and finding Little Miss dragging her little sister around because “She was trying to get on the table and I didn’t want her to fall and hurt herself!’. That and she keeps demanding that Usurper walk to her, or give her a hug, and when she doesn’t Little Miss takes matters into her own hand and drags her around or gives her a crushing hug.

Being a child of extremes if Little Miss is not trying to love her sister to death, she is beating her over the head (gently thus far) with a blunt object, because she is convinced that her little sister is trying to steal her Snuggsie, take her drink or commit some other crime against humanity. I guess it is better that I am worried about stealing each others drinks and soft toys, because I can see the day when they are stealing each others boyfriends and then the fun and games will be on for young and old………
