New use for Old New Yorkers

More regarding crawling. Yelena is starting to dig her knees in a bit when doing the land swimming thing. If I put my hands of the soles of her feet so she can use them to push off, she will work her arms and drag across the floor. That is if there is something in front of her she wants. The flashing light musical stacker: no. A block or stuffed animal: not really. Her egg shaker: more likely. A New Yorker: go, go, go! Constantly moving a New Yorker an inch out of her reach, she will cross the entire width of the rumpus room. PAPER! It doesn't work as well with other magazines -- the thickness of the New Yorker's paperstock has that je ne sais quois that babies love. Problem: she managed to work faster than I could and ripped a page right out of the Martin Amis short story. Everyone's a critic.
