Did that title get your attention??? That is my son's new name. If you're a parent, you probably know what I mean. You're at the doctor's or heaven forbid in church and they have had it with sitting still. They want up and they want up NOW. When my son reaches this point, he can contort his body in ways I didn't know possible to try and get down. Then again, maybe I used to be able to do that and just don't want to admit it now.
The monkey part comes from him climbing anything and everythin he can get a toehold on including us, his parents. He climbs the dresser, the couch, the entertainment center, the kitchen table the foyer staircase, and especially the baby gate (needless to say, we gave up on that) you name and he will climb it. Luckily, so far, we have always managed to catch him after just a couple of steps. But, I know the day is coming when neither my husband nor I will be fast enough and he'll get to the top of something and then jump. Hello hospital and probably social services the ways things are today.
You know when I was growing up, kids got hurt all the time and no one jumped to conclusions. In the summer, we could leave home first thing in the morning, ride our bikes to a friends and stay all day. The only rule was to be home by sundown. Unfortunately, times have changed. I can't imagine the day I'll have to turn him loose and out of my site (daycare doesn't count). I'm getting nervous just thinking about it.
Lunch is about over...so have a great day and I'll see you here later...
