So this morning, I was making Ben some eggs for breakfast (I don’t normally have that luxury, but today was a snow day- yes!). I heard a banging sound behind me. When I turned around, I saw Ben sitting in one of the high bar stools, smiling away and pounding on the counter. He was so proud of himself! I called Tim and grabbed the camera. He had used his riding truck as a step stool and climbed from there. After I took this picture, he climbed on to the counter and grabbed a knife.
Is there no place safe???

no place. no place is safe. no place is sacred. It’s exciting and scary all at the same time.

That rotten little guy. How totally hilarious. Lydee’s right… just when you think things are all toddler-proofed, he’ll foil you again. I know Jennifer has bungeed her chairs to the dining room table for this very reason, BTW.

Our Ben does the exact same thing. He will use anything he can find as a stepladder. Must be the name…maybe all Bens are climbers. BTW, one time maybe a month ago, I went downstairs to switch over some laundry. Anyway, our Ben climbed up onto one of our barstools, got a knife and walked over to Kevin who had fallen asleep on the floor. He actually stabbed Kevin in the tooth. No blood or injuries thank God. Please don’t call CPS…I didn’t know Kevin had fallen asleep or I would never have gone downstairs :0)
And, yes, I did bungee our dining room chairs to the table so Ben wouldn’t use them to climb up onto the table where he is frequently found standing straight up in the middle of it.
