Can I do it please...

'Can I do it please' is the first phrase I usually hear as soon as we enter the library. The opening in the wall that says 'Book Drop' is where Mysha is headed straight. One by one she pushes the books in for return and waits for the BEEP. I just stand back as she enjoys her ritual.

Mysha's wall climbing experiment


When Ilyas said the other day that Mysha was not a very sporty person, I retorted back asking when was the last time when we took her out for an sporting activity. The answer was very clear - we had not for a very long time. Last weekend Vini suggested that we take Nandika and Mysha for wall climbing .. hmmm... I was not sure how Mysha would take that, but there was no harm in trying. It was clear at the end of 1 hr - Mysha was clearly not sporty, yet - evident from the way she rested her feet on the wall supports, but she sure was fairly determined for her age. She led the way to the top, in two attempts. Nandika on the other hand was truly a sporty girl with feet reaching out to the supports very well, but she took her while to get used to the challenge.
