Bobble Goes Backwards! (by sarah)
Yesturday we took Jean to a friends house - which happened to have lovely polished wooden floors and lots of rugs. Jean was placed on the floor to crawl as she had become too wriggly. She was fine on the rugs but went slippy slidding on the floor, this was so funny to watch, she started to sort of crawl on the spot, then slump - her hands getting traction her knees not! Then to all our delight she worked out that she could go backwards to where she wanted by sort of pushing with her hands and 'swimming' with her legs - it really looked like she was doing some sort of froggy swim! 🙂
I think her geologic tendencies are currently winning as she used this new mobility method to get to the mineral collections - certain geologists will be pleased to hear that so far her favourite has been a large siderite nodule!
