Tulliver loves the CD/DVD player. Both because it plays music (which facilitates dancing and twirling...always a good thing in our house) AND because it has buttons. Silver, shiny buttons.
Of course, Tully is not allowed to touch the CD/DVD player. Each time she presses one of the dozen or so buttons, either I or Andrew walks to her, picks her up, says "no," and moves her to another part of the room where there are things that are supposed to distract her (you know, toys, like balls, dolls, puzzles, oatmeal cans, etc.). But nooooo, nothing distracts our single-minded daughter.
For a while, before she started walking, Tully would backwards crawl to the CD/DVD player after being told (for the gazillionth time) that she wasn't allowed to touch it. Backwards crawl, with her eyes on us, as if we couldn't see her at all. Very clever.
But now her cleverness has reached new heights. Knowing full well at this point that she is not supposed to touch the CD/DVD player, she has begun turning on and off buttons WITH HER FEET!
HER FEET!
What a creative solution to an ongoing problem. "Mom and Dad say I can't touch this thing," I imagine her thinking as her sweet little toes reach and point until the big one hits its target. (She grins the whole time.), "but surely they mean with my hands."
Love it, love it, love it.
