Today was my last day to co-op at Shoo’s preschool. Unfortunately, thanks to the race and a pretty leg intensive workout yesterday, my legs were really sore this morning. When I got to the school, I was assigned to the nursery – not my favorite age. I spent the subsequent 5.5 hours getting up and down off of the ground. Exhausting!
As I left Shoo’s preschool, Beer Geek called to tell me he’d be late getting home, so no running for me. :o( And Shoo took a nice long nap at preschool, so he’s unlikely to go to bed at a reasonable hour.
So, I’m sitting on the front porch, watching him play in the yard, as the closest thing to “me” time I’m going to get today. He went inside to get another ball and came back out carrying a lemonade box. This conversation followed:
Me: Shoo, where did you get that?
Shoo: From on top of the refrigerator
Me: Huh? HOW did you get it?
Shoo: I climbed up. I used a chair and a stool.
I went inside and sure enough, there’s a dining room chair pushed up against the refrigerator and a stool on top of it.
I think I just felt a few more hairs go gray.
That would have given me a heart attack! Little monkeys.
What a resourceful little dude.
You really need to live in a house made of rubber with kids, don’t you??My legs are always exhausted after playing with my little nieces and nephews – up, down, up, down!
LMAO… little monkey for sure!
aye carumba!! glad he didn’t tumble!sounds like the kind of thing that i did as a kid. luckily, my own kids really never tried things like that.
It is so true that you can’t turn your head even for a second… little monkey! Good luck this w/e!
It’s scary to imagine how he got it, but try to relish the fact that he’s good at problem solving and took matters into his own hands instead of asking for assistance. That says a lot about his independence, which is frightening, but necessary.
LOL. You’re going to have to start gluing your furniture to the floor.
Hahahaha! Ian did that once when he and his friend stole matches that he saw Teh ‘Bride putting away up high.Luckily, Teh ‘Bride caught him and the other kid before they burned the neighborhood down; and she put the fear of God in them both.We hope.
