Yep. Totally in trouble.
This morning I closed the door to Billy's room while I got him dressed. I do this every time I have to dress him just to contain him. He wants to run around everywhere, so this way I don't have to chase him down the hall, just around the room. Well, he knows the secret of doors and has for awhile. He loves to play with doors by pushing them almost closed and then opening them again. This morning he went over to the closed door and stood on his tip toes. He got his whole hand on the knob and tried to get the door open. He didn't have enough purchase to turn it and hasn't yet discovered the secret of the door knob, but it's only a matter of time. Yep. In trouble.
When I came home from work I found Daddy doing a dramatic reading of the back of a taco kit box in a botched Mecian accent. Billy was sitting in his high chair in rapt attention to the tale of adding the spice mix to the meat. And he was sitting there shirtless. What happened? Daddy gave Billy a bottle for the ride home from daycare. Billy discovered how to open a bottle of milk- while in the car. He got milk everywhere, hence the sitting there half naked waiting for dinner. Yep. In trouble.
One of Billy's favorite pasttimes is to give a Buddy toy to Mommy or Daddy to throw for Buddy. He's not sure how to do it himslef, so he gives it to us. Well, he invented a new game. He picked up a Buddy toy and then asked to be picked up. So I did. Then he waved it around for Buddy and I lowered Billy enough to give it to him. Buddy jumped for the toy and Billy yanked it out of reach just at the last second, laughing as Buddy missed. Billy repeated this several times, very proud of himself for figuring out how to trick the dog. Yep. In trouble.
Finally, at dinner part two Billy was still hungry after all of the food we gave him so I gave him a slice of bread to fill him up. Normally I tear it up into little pieces, but tonight I gave him the whole piece just to see what he would do. He put it on his head, he played hide and seek, and then he ate it. He's learned to play with his food. Probably the first time he's legitimately played with food, rather than just experiementing with its properties. He thought he was really funny with his bread tricks. Yep. In trouble.
Now comes the game of outsmarting the One-Year-Old. Game on!
