Loitering

by erikrasmussen, on Flickr")Yesterday we were running ahead of schedule, so Nora and I took a leisurely stroll to her daycare. She walked about halfway there, which is only about 150 meters. I can see just how slow traveling on foot with a toddler is going to be. Normally when we walk somewhere, she has to run her hand along every filthy surface along the way. Yesterday, she thought it would be a good idea to clean off a dusty ledge with the front of her dress and face.

The "just leave her behind and she'll catch up" trick didn't work at all.

Making a dust angel.

Every wall must be touched.

I think I'll sit down on this ledge.

A rare occasion of looking where she's going.

Sticking her tongue out at her shadow.
