Things I’ve learned from my children today.
Small children can do astonishing things in a very short space of time. There I was checking the spare rib recipe for the next step while Boy Three pottered. I looked up and this is what I saw. He was ever so pleased with himself.
Upwards is not always onwards. Boy Three loves to climb. Today I have removed him from the dining table, the top of the armchair in the bedroom, the shelves in the bathroom (he pushed the chair over to get a foot up), the bed (slightly ajar drawers as steps) and his brother’s bed (it’s a mid-sleeper up five steps).
Quiet and relative tidiness is over-rated. Boys One and Two are still at their dad’s. Having a ball according to our nightly calls. Tomorrow they’re off to learn to sail. When they first went off it was heavenly to have a slightly more orderly home and fewer mouths to feed/pants to wash, now, though, I’m over that. Time to come home Boys. Roll on Thursday.
Lol that is such a fun photo. Love the look of accomplishment on his little face 🙂
Xx
Ps. Thanks for the comment on my blog xx
If this is the worst that went wrong after your day of calm and order, you've done great.
And it does make for a wonderful picture too xxx
Fantastic photo – hope he flushed first!
The look on his face is priceless! Wonderful!
What a brill photo. Mini was and still is a climber
Mummy Mishaps, thanks he was very chuffed.
Debbie, it was certainly the funniest.
TNMA, flushing had been done – that's his usual game.
Mags, a total sense of achievement.
TheMadHouse, how do you deal with your climber?
That's fantastic! Made me giggle!! 🙂
That is brilliant.
And the much funnier version of the chair/ head removal I had to perform earlier on my son!
Emma, thanks.
Pass the Chablis, Oh dear presume son and chair are recovered.
I love the photo its soo funny 🙂 Although I imagine will cause mortification at a later date….
Superb photo – I had to do a double take to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was!
WW, I suspect it will follow him around for many, many years, but it was too good not to share.
Ebabeelikes, I think it's because he's so pleased with himself
Hahahah!!! That's awesome. And yeah, he won't be happy with that in years to come, which makes it even more awesome 😀
xx
Love that picture. You need to frame it or make greeting cards out of it.
That is a very funny photo 😉
lol – love it – though I am a bit concerned that you were cooking spare ribs in the loo….. 😛
AWESOME!!! I love it 🙂
He's a handsome lad even whhen he's down the pan!
Hahaha! Look at him, he's so happy! What a wonderful picture 😀
haha I remember seeing this the first time and giggling. Now my little one is just as mischeiveous and it doesn't make me laugh any more, it makes me sigh!
This is a fantastic photo love it xx
Love this photo! He has such a lovely smile. Good job there was no loo cleaner down there mind!
I have never seen or heard of that before, but it really made me laugh 😀 Jen
Thanks for joining in with my blog hop over at Celebrating Mums. I too have a boy who is a climber. He climbed before he walked onto window sills was a fave. Used to frighten the poor neighbours but if I got him down, he just went up again.
Thanks Kate
