Embrace your inner mountain Goat
Logan has gone for months shunning the mere idea of serious climbing. Sure, he'd help himself up onto the recliner or couch. He'd hoist himself up on a chair in the yard or wherever else he felt like being. He'd climb ladders and stairs at the park or Gymboree. Yeah, he'd do that stuff but serious make Mom's heart stop climbing wasn't something he was into. . .until today.Today Logan has embraced his inner mountain goat and scaling the great mountains around the house has become his big hobby. This morning for example, we had been playing on the computer. The dog did her usual nearly break the back door down leaping as a means of letting us know she was ready to come in. With the computer in its new habitat, the backdoor is mere feet from the desk chair. I put Logan down on the floor and let Tasha in. Turned back to the computer to find my child kneeling ON the table in front of the keyboard about to stand and try to scale the monitor! He had climbed up on the desk chair (which is on wheels mind you!) and then onto the table. After a few more attempts at getting back onto the table after being removed, I picked him up and walked him out of the sunroom. He cried and yelled because he wanted to "Climb keyboard!"
Moments later we had breakfast. I removed him from the high chair we're working on getting him permanently out of and walked to the sink to wash off his yogurt spoon. That's when I heard scrapping on the floor. . .he had rolled his high chair over next to my chair and was trying to climb up on my chair so he could climb back into the high chair. Luckily it was time for the local stores to open so we could make an easy get away to the van and errands instead of debating the merits of staying off the furniture instead of using these items as ladders.
