..that seemed to say, 'That was funny, wasn't it?'
A few weeks ago Evangelina was playing in the living room with her pushcarts when she headed to the dining table where she ('unfortunately') has begun to climb in order to fiddle with the different things we put there. Well, on this particular day she rolled a cart to the side of the table & climbed onto it in order to reach onto the table to grab something. All of a sudden, the cart rolled over to the side, & there she was, suspended diagonally between her hands grasping the edge of the table & her toes still on the cart, holding a tenuous tension at that diagonal for what seemed about 5seconds. She couldn't muscle her legs enough to pull the cart back directly under her, & she finally fell onto her hands & knees & stayed there quietly for a few seconds, seeming to wonder whether she should cry. She didn't, but turned over to me & made a big smile at me...
