he keeps us on our toes

Not too long ago, I heard some small banging noises coming from the back of the house. I figured that Andrew must be playing in the boys room. Although he was likely wrecking his brothers' Lego creations, I wasn't overly concerned.

It's his room too, so he plays in there all the time.

But he's never done this...

uh oh-1uh oh-2

This is how I found him.

Totally comfortable. Totally unfazed. Pleased as punch that he'd finally gotten ahold of Liam's money keeper thing. As fate would have it, I'd just finished downloading all the pictures from this weekend and my camera was in hand. Otherwise I'd have been totally torn between really wanting a picture of this moment and really NOT wanting my 18 month old to face plant off a six foot high shelf... There are definitely benefits to your right hand being a camera!

Looks like we now have yet another room that will require a closed door during waking hours. Our house is losing square footage by the day with this monkey.
