My Little Climbers

The past couple of weeks, the boys have taken an interest in climbing and they now climb anything and everything! I have been surprised several times at the places I've found them after looking away for just a moment or two. They have figured out that they can climb on boxes or their little table and chairs set to get where they want, so they have begun pushing these things around the room and finding new things to climb on. So clever, yet so mischievous. Here are a few places I've found them climbing just this week:

They overturned and then pushed a half-full cat litter box into the bathroom so they could reach their toothbrushes on the counter.

Cullen pushed his chair and table in front of the entertainment center and used them as steps to get to the TV. He pulled out a cord and then began turning the tv off and on.

I was doing the dishes and heard what sounded like glass clinking together. I am very careful not to leave glass anywhere they can reach so I thought I was crazy at first. But I immediately looked over and saw Jack standing on top of a file folder box reaching for the candles. We moved that into the bedroom right away.

And this next story tops them all. I was sitting on the couch reading and the boys were playing on the living room floor around me. All of a sudden I saw something out of the corner of my eye and glanced over my shoulder. There was Jack peering over the back of the couch! He was standing on his little chair and busted out laughing when I cried "Jack! What are you doing up there?" He thought he was so funny sneaking up on Mommy reading! We've had to confiscate the chairs and hide those in our bedroom too until they're old enough to learn not to stand on them.

So thanks GG Whit, your Christmas gift has inspired Jackson and Cullen to be the cutest little daredevils! They think they're so cool with all their climbing and it's their favorite toy... but they'll just have to wait until they can play with it safely ;-)
