Houston, We Have A Climber


I try to log onto the computer and check my e-mail for one minute (ok so maybe it was more like 5 minutes but still) and this is what I find. Lovely!

that is when i flip out wondering if the shelf is attached to the wall! sofie is trying this...and jk last week scaled 6 feet! what in the world!!! i have to say, jen, he is quite a cute little climber...so stinking sweet...and i love that you made him stay there until you got the camera...i totally would've done that!!

Heather said...

Oh,NO!

All I can say is, God help you.

Climbing is great, it's the getting down that's the problem. Let's hope he doesn't teach the other two, right?

I am so right there with you! Cayden climed in the rocking chair yesterday and busted his head on the radiator! Did that stop him? NOOO! He climed on the toy box, the heater and was even attempting to climb up the entertainment center after that! AHHH!

You have 3 options:

1. Put him in a bubble wrap suit.

2. Lay thick foam around the base of any possible climbing location.

3. Drink.

Scary!!!!

I had a friend whose son had to wear a helmet for a while because he was such a climber. hehe.

His daddy climbed a bookcase when he was about that age--and pulled it over on top of himself! Many tears on his part and mine, as well as books everywhere!

BBB said...

Ahhh yes - another reason I'm glad my kids are older!!!

Oh my goodness. I probably would have freaked for a second but probably long enough to scare the crap out of the kid and cause him to fall.

Kids just love when they can get to this point.... :-) Always have to keep us Mom's on our toes.

He looks so proud of himself!

Ash said...

Don't think of it as him being a climber - think of it in terms of a book enthusiast!

And I'm going with Maternal Mirth on this one, #3...

I find Dottie in scary places too... I never had this problem with Graham... I can't turn my back on her!!

Live.Love.Eat said...

Wow, he's got guts!!!! My boy was never a climber. What's he looking for up there?

tiarastantrums said...

Oh BOY - he can climb!!

Nicole said...

my youngest is a climber. a scary climber! I have to watch him much more closely than I did the older two!

Jenn said...

let the bruises and head injuries commence!!

uh-oh...that scares me for what's ahead!

your in for some fun times. I remember climbing the doorways with may hands and feet pressed against opposite sides. If I tried that now my wife would kill me. Oh to be a kid again.

Givinya De Elba said...

Wow. Imagine having three little cherubs climbing! Good luck to you Jen. Do you want me to pop over and lend an extra pair of hands?

Zip n Tizzy said...

Oh look out!
This is only the beginning.

Rachel said...

holy moly. time to bust out the helmet.

CaraBee said...

Oh my god! Did you scream! I would have been laughing/yelling for him to get down.

Missy said...

I think you need to install a tracking device on each one of them, James Bond style! I'm thinking of having my little one microchipped, like we did the dog. Ok, you know I'm totally kidding, right?
I would have freaked if I saw this!

Shannon said...

I never had this problem with my girls... they weren't really much of climbers.

They were (and still re) more of jumpers-on-the-bed.

Shannon said...

Oh, and I loved how, before you made him get down... you grabbed the camera and snapped a picture ;)

Rhea said...

You definitely have a climber! Watch out from now on...little stinker.

Jill said...

oh yeah... so not fun when you find out your kid is a monkey.

welcome to my world.

Susie said...

Oh no...your life is over now:-( Good luck with that one.

Diana said...

Little man + No Fear = TROUBLE!!! Good luck! :-)

Julie said...

My son is doing that now too. Nothing is safe! Ugh...

Superstar said...

according to my parents, I did this, except, I climbed the kitchen counters and Im told, *clears throat* tried to bake a cake on the living room floor!

hehehehe

You have your hands full with this trait!

Let the games begin!

Oh no! :) I just posted yesterday, you think they're being all good, nice and quiet, when...something like this happens, haha!
