Athena discovered her shadow last week. It was pretty darn cute. I was picking her up from her preschool/daycare & they were out on the playground, so she comes running up to me full speed to hug me like she always does, and then after her hug she looks down and she's looking at her shadow. She moves left, then right and the shadow follows her. Then, she backups, and it doesn't disconnect from her feet, so she got a little freaked and kinda backed up and started lifting her feet, and looked under her feet one at a time while standing, trying to figure out where this dark thing ended, and why it was following her, and she seemed a bit worried and was whining/muttering a bit. So I walked back up next to her and showed her I had one, too - and I waved and the shadow waved and I tried to make light of it and say "it's ok, see?" - "mommie has one too, it's your shadow" -but Athena tried to outwalk it again, and walked into the shadow of the building. Then she relaxed - she was not really keen on having this super dark moving thing attached to her feet (even if mommie seemed to have one too, it still wasn't her preference at that moment). I think the shadow was extra dark due to the bright direct sun, and it was overhead enough that Athena couldn't lift her feet and cause any gap between her feet and the shadow.. so she couldn't seem to "shake it" until she ran into the big shadow, which she didn't discern from the building. It was interesting and rather amazing to see her go through this discovery process.
