Diving off the Sofa

While mummy was getting ready to go to the market today, I decided to get her attention by diving off the sofa! I saw mummy placing the cushions on the floor and know that it is safe for me to dive off the sofa.

As planned, from my sitting position, I pushed forward and dived off the sofa! Success! I landed head first on the cushions and let out a great yell to signal my victory. Mummy heard my yell and rushed over to pick me up! On seeing her worried face, I started to cry as I didn't want to worry mummy. Mummy thought I was crying because I was frighten and quickly comforted me.

She placed me back on the sofa, and tried to teach me how to get off the sofa using my legs first. But I didn't want to do that as it was not fun! So I protested very loudly so that mummy would go back to comforting me instead. Mummy fell for my ploy and stopped trying to teach me. But I heard mummy telling aunty Yani that she will teach me to get off the sofa using my legs everyday, until I learn how to do it myself. But I think I will continue to have my fun by diving off the sofa, but when the time is right, I'm going to surprise mummy by getting off the sofa the right way.
