This third child will be the one that does all the frightful things that the first two never did, won’t he? Now that poor old mom is too worn down to properly fight back.
Standing on the peanut butter jar (!) so he can reach deeper into the pantry. He’s all of 14 months old and can’t even WALK yet, for goodness sake!!

- The not-yet-toddling menace I am finding this particular stage of Lucas’s development exhausting. No, really? EXHAUSTING. Also exasperating, challenging, and frustrating. (And, to be fair, delightful and charming and wonderful.) But mostly, exhausting. He stubbornly refuses to walk on his own, even though he can stand with no problem, has walked across the...
- From my mouth to his ears You know those times when you hear your own words coming from your kids’ mouths, and how unsettling it is? We’re in the van. Tristan is in the middle row with Lucas, and Simon is in the back row. Lucas is just waking up, and Tristan is leaning over to...

It’s simply awesome!
I can imagine your internal deliberation “Please do not fall’till I click! Please”!
Have a good day

i say smart boy! how brilliant that he’d even think to do that….
Bwahahahahaha!
Love it! Smart boy!
This photo made me laugh out loud! I knew there was a reason I keep the peanut butter jars where my 18-month-old can’t reach them …
I love that you were able to get a picture…but can’t imagine the thoughts going through your head now. He’ll keep you busy!
Oh my!
Good luck!
wow…, um. good luck…
(psst – i’m back with a new url…)
I am still so thankful that Max isn’t a climber, even at two. Good luck with all that!
Yes, truly farked is what you are
My third is a climber too. She will be 15 months next week and I have already found her IN the bathroom sink after moving a stool over to the sink so she could climb up and ON TOP of the BACK of the toilet pulling tissues out of a Kleenex box.
I thought girls just sat and played with dolls

LOL your in for it!
