Toddler Tuesdays... We have a climber!

Little Bit will be 18 months on Saturday. She's highly mobile, vocal, opinionated, and observant. It's that last one that gets us in trouble.

Ever heard "monkey see, monkey do"?

Well, that's a toddler to a T.

She loves to sweep with her little handheld dust broom, clean (which means rubbing anything with a rag), pick up, load the washer and dryer, and use the screwdriver. All actions she's picked up from us.

Recently, she saw Mommy dust the top of our 7 foot bookcases. This required a small stepstool that Little Bit also uses as a snack table, coloring desk, and occasional seat. No sooner did Mommy step down to dust the lower shelves on the first bookcase... Little Bit was up on the stool checking out a shelf she had not previously explored. *shakes head*

I was honestly wondering how long it would take her to start climbing the walls.

Well, it came all at once. That same day she climbed up in a chair in Target while we ate lunch. The night before she'd climbed up on a stop block lying in the yard by the driveway. Numerous times last week she climbed up on the couch.. and back down when Mommy gave her the wrong "cobers". Heaven forbid she use her own blanket and not Mommy's.

Here's a peek at our precious new climber and a farewell to knowing what is no longer on her reach. *life with a toddler!*
