Up she goes.

Abby is venturing into a new hobby...climbing. She'll be scaling sheer cliffs by the time she's a teen.

But for now, she's practicing on the kitchen table.

This was the first time she climbed up onto a chair.



Then she looked behind her and saw another challenge. The table!


I, being the caring mother that doesn't want her babies head cracked open on the tile floor kind of person that I am, told her no, no.


She thought about listening, then swung her knee up high and wiggled herself onto the table.


Insert imaginary picture here.


It was her first time climbing that high and I didn't know how stable she would be, so no, I did not take a picture of her on the table. Instead I ran over, grabbed her up, and put her back down on the floor.

Yes, I'm a mean mom who destroys her children's dreams of climbing to higher heights.

But at least their brains remain intact.

For now.
