Catherine,

This is so hilarious!!!!  I can just see Keren pulling a stunt like 
that in a few years!  Fortunately our PT sees Keren's abilities and 
recognizes her progress, so I trust she'll know what Keren can and 
can't do :) .....  Another thing I'll have to store away, though, about 
the tumbleforms seat!
