There are busy days at the Bates home. Sweet little Sara has become a monkey. MONKEY! Holy cow. She is climbing on or up everything. She accomplished climbing on the couch a few nights ago and then the table last night. While we were getting the older kids in bed, we realized Sara was not hovering around with us. Any parent knows that when a child is quiet, they are into something and it could be bad. Very, very, very bad.
Well, we walked into our kitchen just in time to see Sara up on a chair, dumping Lily's milk on the table and all over her fresh, clean, just bathed self. What a stinker. She was very proud of herself. Big smiles and all. Just beaming with a 'look what I can do' smile. GGGGGRRRRREEEEEAAAAATTTTT!!!!!
We got her down and she quickly started showing us how she got up on the chair. She was grunting and squealing. She first climbed up on the chair, that seemed to take a little effort. Then she almost immediately climbed on the table. Then she gave us the biggest 'Mission Accomplished' look. I thought to myself how much fun this new stage of toddler hood is going to be, full of bumps and bruises, and from the look of her new found adventurous nature, possible broken bones. Lovely. The really exciting part came when we took her down from the table and pushed in all the chairs.
There was screaming and hollering. She was
not happy. She was officially trapped. She couldn't climb on the table anymore. Soon, she set off on a new adventure to find another fabulous thing to climb up, down or on. This part of toddler hood is going to rock, and I am so excited. Sweet Baby!
