The Happy Door Knocker

There are so many things I could blog about right now. For example, I could write about the fact that we are now homeless in California; or that the reason we find ourself so is that in the short span of 3 weeks we made the decision to put our home up for sale, prep it, hold an open house, receive offers, sign closing papers and physically move out; or that we are now on the hunt for what will (hopefully) be our home for the next 20 years.

As you can see all of this is great blogging material, but here's the thing. Despite all the changes and turmoil in our household right now, the cutest thing is happening: Sweet Pea is knocking on doors - literally.

Maybe it's the fact that over the last 2-3 weeks we've spent all of our free time touring model homes, visiting open houses, and living at an extended stay hotel - all of which have doors a plenty. Whatever the impetus, Sweet Pea has taken to running up to doors, knocking on them, and expecting to go right inside and explore new places.

It's cute when it's a model home and you know that there is no one home to disturb, but when we make the trek down our long hallway at the end of the day to reach our new living quarters and she heads for each door along the way, her little fist raised in the air ready to make as much noise as a 21 month old can muster, then... not so much

While it's a tiny milestone, it sure is a cute one! And who knows, one of these days she just may knock on the door to our next home!
