He knows how to use a stool, chair, toy box or anything else that is handy to reach those places that mommy and daddy thought would be "safe".
Eli has brought me coins from the top of the dresser, daddy's glasses from the counter, and even a pair of scissors from a drawer in the kitchen. It seems that nothing is safe from Mr. Sticky Fingers!
He has also figured out how to climb up nearly anything to get what he wants. I have caught him with his feet on the lower cabinet knobs in his attempts to grab items on the counter. We even caught him hanging on one of the kitchen drawers the other day while it was pulled out. He got in trouble for that one! Especially when drawer face fell on my foot yesterday morning as I tried to open it! OUCH!
It seems like some mornings when I am trying to get showered and ready after aerobics class either Eli is getting into something he shouldn't, or Jonah and Eli are trying to play together and someone ends up crying.
So it seems the best place for him when I don't want him to get in trouble is under my watchful eye. One particularly trying morning I set him down on the bathroom counter while I flat-ironed my hair. Can you guess where he ended up?
In the sink, of course! Ah well, at least he didn't get too wet!

And you can't even get mad at him! He's too cute!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect place...what a good fit, too!
ReplyDeletewow! I'm so amazed. Tristan doesn't climb but he'd be all over that water if he could. He loves to wash his hands and brush his teeth. :) Your boys are just so darn cute.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking from experience, those days, while completely physically/emotionally exhausting, will be gone soon enough and before you know it they'll be talking back and asking to borrow the car and you'll hardly remember the climbing and emptying cupboards.
ReplyDeletePS I used to hate it when people told me that when the kids were younger---but now I'm living it and it's totally true. :)
it's crazy the things they figure out to do... and it sounds like he's got a case of the 2nd child too... my 2nd can do a LOT of things my first didn't do at the same age... got to keep up with the bigger brother I guess?? At least in the sink just added to the laundry not the hospital bill
ReplyDeleteBuddy LOVES to sit in the sink as well!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Boys are so crazy!
ReplyDeleteImagine how dull and boring life would be if they didn't get into the things. Kids are great that way, keeping us on our toes and giving us something to talk/post about.
ReplyDeleteAnd just think one day they'll make trouble and we be there to clean it up or kiss their owies.
Cute! gotta love little boys...
ReplyDeletethat's so cute. my kids do the stool thing too to climb all on everything. they have never gotten into the sink though.
ReplyDeleteHe sure is happy with himself and I love big brother in the background.
ReplyDeletelol my little diva is the same way. She's starting to use anything and everything in order to climb to get what she wants.
