Dylan,

A wise man taught me to be aware of my "circle of influence". Since then I have always considered this lesson in the context of my career.

Your circle of influence is expanding rapidly, but not so much in terms of the numbers or stature of people you can affect, but by your own physical mobility and its effects on time and space.

You now have the run of the house. By that I mean you can take yourself from any point in the house to any other point (provided the doors are open a crack). Today I watched you crawl right out of your room, down the hall, into the dining room (where you paused to chew on a doorstop), and on to the kitchen. You went right to the only full stack of drawers in the kitchen cabinets and since you couldn't even see them until you got around the fridge, I think you had them in mind from the start.
