"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." ~ Doug Phillips

My Little Dare Devil......

This one is going to keep me on my toes....if not completely gray haired in a few years!
He is always climbing up onto or into something. Or standing up and pulling things over on himself. He is always sporting some type or red mark or bruise. He is also the one who finds it incredibly entertaining to bash his forehead into yours hard enough to make your teeth clatter. The louder you yelp the funnier it is!
Today I ran out to turn on the water in the garden. I was gone maybe a minute. As I came back on the porch I heard him banging on the piano. I sighed with great relief knowing I could safely open the door without mowing him down. (This is another common occurrence as he thinks it is his duty to stand in front of any closed door and wait for you.) I swung the door open wide and found this.......
Yes Folks, that's right he IS standing on the vacuum! While I was out he had pushed the vacuum up to the piano and climbed on top. Normally he just stands up and reaches the keys from the ground.....but no not this time. This time he wanted to reach the piano books as well! So there he was playing and dancing atop the vacuum. Yes, my heart stopped. I quickly recovered and ran for the camera.....all the while praying "don't let him fall, don't let him fall!" Just another normal day with our Cub.

Haha! Too funny!! :) We'll just think of it as being industrious, rather than getting into trouble. :) What a cutie! Thanks for sharing!

LOL! I have a boy just like that... from the time he could, he was climbing in everything... and jumping off of it! He finds great joy in jumping off the kitchen counter on to the floor - and adding a spin to his jump!
2 weeks ago at Antioch work day, I found him poised and ready to leap from a top bunk bed to the bed across the aisle! I made him stop... we had too many plans for the weekend that did NOT include an ER trip!

Just like his dad! Poor Wilfred went to the ER more times than anyone cares to remember.
