Climbing Monkey

Tonight Daniel threw a fit when Daddy was going to put him in his highchair for dinner. He wanted Mommy to do it. We've had this argument before.....anyway, we told him he could wait to eat until he was ready for Daddy to put him in his highchair. He paused a moment, then climbed into the highchair himself and sat down. He said, while giggling, "I got in my highchair myself!"

Then later tonight, we put him to bed in his crib without a bedtime story.....(long story).....anyway, he came waltzing back out into the living room about 5 minutes later. He sure did climb out of that crib! He proceeded to do it two more times before he got the picture that he'd just have to get right back in.

It's amazing what anger will push a kid to do! He's quite a little monkey! And we may be switching to a big-boy bed sooner than we thought.....
