Kintropy In Action

After showing Gabriel how to play pool, Robert went off to do an errand. Gabriel asked me to play with him. I gathered up Hannah and sat her on the floor next to the table. Gabriel and I started; he stopped to occasionally tussle Hannah’s hair. This is something he can’t resist, and it annoys her to no end.

To ward off Gabriel’s advances, Hannah started working in earnest on her mobility. She would pop up into a sitting position and use her butt to scoot across the floor.

Gabriel meanwhile got bored with the regular game of pool and pulled his Star Wars figures up to the table and said, "Let’s try to knock them down. Let’s pretend they are asteroids knocking into them."

I thought it was a great idea; it was definitely easier than trying to get balls in the pockets. We played for awhile knocking down figures where we got one point for each figure we knocked over. If we happened to knock a ball into a pocket, we would get the face value of the ball we knocked in.

In the middle of this fun, I looked down at Hannah and found her almost scooted to the front door with her feeding tube very taut.
