One of the ladies at Alice’s daycare told me some Alice stories as I picked her up today. It seems that Alice can kick balls. I was told that, instead of the normal just walking in to balls, Alice enjoyed actually kicking a ball.
Alice also has a bit of an arm on her. She can throw balls forward, instead of them falling off behind or dropping right in front of her. I remember Corwin hurting a few people when he was young because of his strong throwing arm. The victims would hand him something like a tennis ball and say “throw it to me!” expecting a typical baby loft. Corwin would fling the ball hard enough to hurt instead, taking the target by surprise. Perhaps Alice will be able to do the same thing. Charles, though, still can’t really throw things.
But to make up for all of this marvelous Alice progress, I will leave you with this picture of Alice chomping in to a big clod of dirt like it was an apple:
Mmmmm, I love these earth-apples!
