Wilson’s parents are here for a short visit and we all went to IKEA last night.

The last time we went there, Anya still sat on her pram most of the time. But this time round? Whoaa… a lot has changed!

She might still prefer to hold on to something and not walk by herself, but she made it clear yesterday that the inability to walk alone didn’t stop her from moving about. It was when we sat on a sofa to rest for a while that she decided the chairs were more interesting. And so she came down the sofa by herself, crawled across the aisle and climbed up a chair. All by herself.

I sat quitely by, enjoying the view and appreciating her efforts and initiatives to get to where she wanted.

The store was closing soon anyway and there’s hardly anyone around at the time. And, since I could always wipe her hands and knees clean later on, why should I stop her quest to reach and discover the unknown? Hehe.

Oh, one more thing, I’m often amazed at Anya’s love for phones. Mobile phones, public phones, home phones, toy phones. You name it. As long as it resembles a phone, she happily grabs it, put it on her ear (or … somewhere quite close to it) and starts babbling away in a language only she understands.

Kids these days.

I do get slightly worried though everytime I imagine her chatting away with boys in the years to come!
