The way They are wired

Children are the center of our universe. They help us see things from a different height. Until that height is inappropriate for little people.

Yesterday I spent my day pulling my two daughters off the back of a chair when they insisted that that they needed to explore the sounds a window makes when you hit it with your hands. Or how far they could lean over the edge of the piano and still reach the lower keys. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't convince my daughters that trying to climb up the bookshelves in the office was not a good thing, or that using the handle on the oven as a lever pull yourself up the front of it wasn't wise. After several mocking "no's" and mocking slaps on the leg (sometimes in conjunction with the no's), I realized I wasn't getting anywhere, but frustrated.

After several frustrating hours of food throwing, dog hitting, and numerous attempts to climb through the window, I called my mother. I soon learned that, kids are just wired that way.

I am not going to survive 2!
