And here I’ve been just waiting for my little one to start crawling. I’m starting to think that I’d be okay with her being stationary for a bit longer…

I can see your little man up on that couch with his chest puffed out proudly at his accomplishment! What a picture that makes. For about five seconds and then you’re lunging to catch him as he plays Superman. That’s also a picture. It’s going to be fun for him and will turn your hair gray. But, what the heck, we all need a little excitement in our lives.
My oldest heaved herself right over the bars of her crib and we got to hear that thud. I screamed. The Mister moved faster than I’ve ever seen him move. She survived. She’s 18 now. We survived, but became old people very quickly. It’s all so much fun!

Oh man…my son’s 2 and I’m still worried about him falling from everything that he climbs on. He still hangs over the back of the couch and chairs. Good luck, I wish I could tell you it gets easier but…well…nope

Our oldest became a climber about two months ago. Now everytime we have friends over this conversation is had:

“Um. Why are all your chairs turned over?”
“Because Little Man climbs.”
“Well, I mean, what’s the worst that could happ…OH MY GOD, LITTLE MAN’S HANGING FROM THE CHANDELIER THAT HE GOT TO BY BALANCING THE BABY WIPES BOX ON TOP OF THE PIZZA BOXES A TOP THE DINING ROOM TABLE THAT HE CLIMBED TO FROM MY CHAIR!!!!”
“That’s why we turn our chairs over.”

Someday they’ll learn. Meanwhile, I feel your pain.

I miss that stage AND I am glad it is over with my kids. Top of the entertainment center is where all of our things went too, haha.
