There hasn't been much activity here on the Piebee blog the past couple of months. There hasn't been any particular reason for this slow spell. An apple pie went unremarked upon a few weeks ago. The BUDA Good Cause tournament got me out for a day's worth of Ultimate, with the added bonus of running into a former Newon neighbor we have known since he was small. And, of course, Josie continues to amaze one and all. These are topics for posts, but I just haven't been blog-ready.
I've been finding it harder to snap a picture of young Josephine. She is fed up with me and others sneaking up on her with a shiny, interesting looking cameras, making a fuss, and then we don't let her examine the dang gadget. Why shouldn't she get to learn all about how a digital camera works? Or tastes? What's up with that?
So when the camera comes out, you can tell she is thinking, "How do I get my hands on that camera?". It takes Josie away from whatever it was she doing, you don't get the shot you had hoped for.
One thing that deserves a video clip is: how Josie approaches a chair to sit down. She has a couple of right size for her chairs. There is a small slice of lifetime when one learns how to sit down in a chair, and she has pretty much mastered it now. Once you learn, you don't even think about it; you just eyeball the seat, turn around, and you know where your butt is supposed to go. But when you are learning that spatial awareness, it takes some practice to build your confidence. Josie peeks over her shoulder as she backs up to the seat, her side to side positioning not always spot on. Besides, she doesn't do much sitting still anyway.
