climbing

stella & lyle at the window

Lyle likes to climb. If there is a box or a stool or anything with a way for him to get up on it, he will climb it. And then when he gets to the top he stands up. This little scene with Stella looks perfectly harmless and cute, but then he goes stepping off the edge of the box and crashes down. No sense of the edge, apparently. He has also successfully climbed up into one of the girls Kinderzeats, which means he could get to the tabletop next if we didn't stop him. And after finding him on the 13th stair out of 14 last week, we now have a gate at the bottom of the stairs permanently, because he is quick and silent. We are in for it for sure.

  1. Yes you are. I'll never forget the time we found Zane sitting in the pedestal sink. He had climbed onto the toilet, then the back of the toilet and across to the sink. Talk about heart attack!

  3. HA! Welcome to my world. I caught Caiti on top of our glass top side table yesterday...she climbed the couch, then onto the table. Soon it'll be counters. She scares me.

    Those pics are adorable.

    I don't know how much she is doing right now- I don't see much in stock right now. I got these as a tester pair back when Lia was starting out. Stella wore them and they look great on Lyle too! Still a bit big, but they work :)
