Okay, right now Nadja is still a sweet little girl. However, she is already learning what it means to be a Lady. One part of it is – be aware, gender stereotype!!! – going shopping. So this morning I could hardly stop her from grabbing the (luckily outdated and invalid) credit card which laid on the table. Does she guess what this little piece of plastic can be used for? And she is also training the other important part of going shopping. She is learning to walk! She can’t crawl yet – but maybe she just skips that and starts to walk first?! Okay, get real again, dad! She nearly crawls now, sometimes she is indeed crawling. It is just not 100 percent controlled yet, it still looks a bit uncoordinated or accidentally. And concerning her walks: without a helping and guiding hand no step would be taken. But she loves to walk, we hardly can stop her to walk as soon as she is standing, and she is getting better day by day. I am really curious which way of movement she will “master” herself first: Crawling or walking?! ;-)
