We have heard tales of his climbing abilities at school each day. All of his classmates including Lucas like to climb on the shelves and attempt to scale the tables. Of course they are quickly stopped but that doesn't mean they don't give up without a fight! They actually are working on teaching them time-out for misbehaving and I am curious to see how this approach works on our little guy :)
While visiting Grandpa last weekend he quickly figured out how to scale the hearth- YIKES! I must admit I used to wish we had one of those, I loved ours growing up. We sat there and roasted marshmallows, stayed toasty by the fire on cold winter days and nights, and this was where Santa always left goodies for John and I and the rest of the family over the years. But NOW, mommy brain kicks in and I am not quite sure how my mom maintained her sanity and John and I came out of childhood without gashes from the harsh bricks! I am VERY happy that our fireplace is hearth-less ;)
Well Lucas has found other avenues to test out his new skill set. He enthusiastically scaled the couch at home the other night in his quest to reach the blind opener thingy (you know, the rod that opens and closes them..). He crawled over Todd and up the back of the cushy couch with great joy and certainty! You could see the look of pure accomplishment and excitement once he made he. He recently decided it was fun to climb into the refrigerator at home. I haven't captured that one on film yet...;) He is one persistent little munchkin, that is for sure. Determination and fervor for life are great qualities to have- and Lucas has demonstrated that already for sure - I think that is part of being a toddler, right moms?
PS- notice the hair- I gave in and we cut it a few weeks ago. Of course I saved it for his baby book. He still has wild static days though thanks to the beauty of winter and cute little hats ;)
