A to Z Challenge: S is for Skill

Long distance Pappa gets his Beckett updates these days through whatsapp videos and google duo phone calls.

In the past two and half weeks since I've been away, Beckett has now started acquiring greater skill in whatever she's been doing. 

The steps are no longer wobbly. There is poise and elan in them, in circles she moves in, and even in her falls. She falls knowing fully well that she is going to fall and starts taking evasive action while falling so that the impact is as gentle as possible.

The babble vocabulary has just exploded. Mai Matala (Mari Masala (spices)) to Taavi (Chaavi (keys)) to Pappa nu (Pappa's) to Saaf karyu (Cleaned it). The list is unending.

Lastly there is much greater control in how she manipulates physical objects. Be it throwing a ball or kicking it or just pouring water from one container to another.
