If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that Luke has an odd fascination with doors. He absolutely loves to stand and watch automatic doors. When it comes to regular doors he will refuse to keep walking until the door is shut. Then when Luke is on the floor he will close any door he can. In the past this has been limited in that Luke could only push a door closed.
Well the last few weeks Luke has been perfecting how to pull a door shut from his position on the floor. It is no easy task and takes a few steps. First, Luke will scoot himself several times all while holding the edge of the door so that it gets close to the closed position. Second, Luke pulls the door using the edge and gets it as close to closed as possible…this part makes me nervous to watch since he could easily hurt his fingers. Third, Luke will get up on his knees, stretch and grab the door handle to close the door all the way.
Sometimes it take a few tries to get the door closed because he’ll accidentally bump the door further open when he tries to grab the door handle. But, Luke sticks with it until he gets that door closed! I happened to catch the “action” the other day on video so you can see what I mean, of course Luke doesn't always preform on command!
