The Simplicity of Boxes and Blocks

Entertaining
Sophia Ruthann

Sophia Ruthann is growing, learning, increasing in her abilities to move about via crawling, climbing, and standing all at just six (6) months of age. She shows emotion and determination in going after what she wants.

When she’s on her mat on the floor she crawls over to her big brother (aka Coleman). When she’s hungry, if I’m in the kitchen, she crawls into the kitchen as if saying where’s my food.

Besides her bottle of formula mixed with rice cereal she also eats various teething biscuits (she has 2 teeth now), oatmeal, baby food jars of fruit and vegetables as well as vegetables I purée for her. She enjoys gripping food with her hands like her teething biscuits, Melba toast, strips of Vienna sausage, as well as holding spoons while I feed her.

She plays with her toys like her teething ball, her Stuffed Stitch, a red toy that was once my eldest son’s toy, and her teething elephant. She climbs from the floor to a lounge chair and then onto the couch, especially if her brother is sitting on the couch.

I just bought her some Little Tikes Soft Blocks that look similar to Lego Duplo Blocks except these are made from food-grade, BPA-free materials, these pliable blocks double as safe teethers and are completely noise-free when knocked over. The other day I was trying to eat while sitting on the lounge chair and she kept standing by it and trying to grab my plate. She had been curious about the box the Blocks came in so I placed her in the box with her new soft blocks. She was thankfully entertained with the simplicity of being in a box and able to play with her soft blocks. I was grateful that, with her entertaining herself, I could enjoy my chicken and roasted vegetables.

I am an avid reader. I read mostly Amish fiction but also read other novels. I enjoy romance, mystery, and Christian devotionals. I enjoy hiking in the outdoors, especially in Greenways and State or National Parks. I love my grandson. He is my favorite subject, so I'll post about him and his antics.
