The Stuck Syndrome

Today was such an incredibly better day than yesterday. There was a nap taken by a certain little girl and that made my day for certain! My mother came for dinner this evening and as always A-chan was enthusiastic about the idea until Amma actually showed up when A-chan became all shy and clingy.

Later in the evening A-chan decided that National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was rather more boring than was advertised and went on a lie-down protest in the middle of the dining room floor this evening. For about 10 minutes she chanted "no video" to the house at large and kept asking Ketu to come and pick her up.

Finally, her protests were effective and Ketu was dragged down onto the floor with her. He was on the floor in the living room, though. When next she asked for him to pick her up he replied with, "I can't right now, I'm stuck. Maybe if you come and help me up I can help you up."

With that she happily said, "'kay!", jumped up off the floor, ran over to give him a hand up. Once he was on his feet she ran back to her spot, promptly laid back down and waited for him to come help her. It was just so cute! We couldn't help laughing. She was in a much better mood after that too.
