Kimberley

Yesterday after school, Kristine went downstairs to practise roller-blading. Kimberley decided later to join Kristine. I asked her if she could go downstairs by herself and she replied yes. So off she went after bundling up with jacket and boots, got into the lift, pressed the down button, and said byebye.

About 2 minutes later, I looked out the window but couldnt see her with Kristine. I went outside of our apartment and right on cue, I heard Kimberley crying downstairs. Called the lift up, and she was inside the lift, crying. She could reach the '1' button to go down, but she could not reach the lobby door button to let herself out of the building. So she went back into the lift, but she couldnt reach the '6' button, so she did the only thing she knew: cry!

Later, I took her down to meet Kristine and showed her how to walk up 6 floors. She tried that when Kristine brought her home. Now she knows.

6 floors is a lot of floors for a 4 year old to climb!

Kimberley, and Kristine, can walk 2-3 km without any complaint. We walk much more here than in Melb. dada
