Smarty pants

Josiah made his way to the top of the stairs completely by himself this afternoon. He was following Lucy, who had gone up there to play with some enticing toys.

I told John when he got home about this new development, and that we’d have to think of some kind of solution to keep him off the stairs since our baby gate is conveniently in the back of our storage unit. He brought down a couple of our huge 24" square pillows from upstairs and laid them across the bottom steps.

He said, “Maybe this will buy us some time. It might take him a week or so to figure out how to get through them.”

Joey promptly crawled over to the pillows, grabbed one and yanked it off the stairs, granting him perfect access. It took him all of about 15 seconds and left us laughing out loud at our underestimation of our little stinker!

(Don't underestimate those thunder thighs -- they are solid, strong, and speedy!) :)
