Into Everything

Parents talk about their toddlers "getting into everything." In my case, the phrase can be taken literally.

Getting into the closet. He learned to slide the doors, Owen put some stuffed animals in there and it's now his favorite place to be.


Getting into the kitchen cabinets. He usually just withdraws a pan lid and deposits a toy.


Getting into the bookshelf. He practiced this move over and over again and only fell on his head once. And even then he laughed about it. Nutty kid.

And sometimes, he's ON TOP of things. And yelling at me while he's doing it!



And then there are the times he plays and does the normal cute baby/toddler things and I think, "Whew. What a relief!"


He throws the ball and kicks it too. He's watched more than his fair share of soccer practices and games from the sidelines.
