He's Such a Boy

The phrase "Boys will be Boys" is totally the truth. I used to think it was just kids will be kids, but there are definitely distinct differences between Boys and Girls. Their drives, personalities, and preferences are just so opposite sometimes. That isn't to say they aren't the same also. Ian is a very boy boy, the most boy they get. He loves cars and building things, dirt, playing outside, being loud, running, but most of all this kid loves to climb and investigate. If he wants to get to something he is going to figure out how to get there. This kid is seriously fearless. He loves to climb on the back of the furniture and try to take things off the walls, shelves, or reach switches which he then relentlessly turns on and off. He likes to hang on the side of the counter top, use his feet to walk up the side of the wall and then flip around backwards through his arms. Yes, he's only 21 months old. Just this morning he figured out how to climb on the tub, stand on the faucet and get into the window sill in our master bathroom He also likes to open the pedestal drawers under the washer and dryer and sit and play in them. He has recently discovered that he can use those drawers as steps to push all the buttons and knobs on the washer, and most recently to climb into the washer and/or dryer when the doors are open.

He's pretty mad because the barrel would rotate every time he tried to get out.

Boy LOVES to eat, here he's enjoying some whoppers candy

I may not survive the raising of this child. Miraculously, he has not yet been to the Emergency Room.
