Great post! Wait til it’s the driver’s side door with a liscence in one hand and keys in the other…”Oh Shit” is right. :P

You’ll long for the day when assuring their safety was a mere matter of rearranging the contents of your fridge.

Great post!

I realized one day that the only way my toddler would get better at navigating stairs is if I let him navigate stairs. Duh! In our quest to child-proof our homes, it's as if we want to dampen their quest for experimentation and knowledge. Jurassic park moment - I love that!

LOL I still remember the panic and fear when my oldest learned how to open the front door. It is kind of a Jurassic Park moment, but also so amazing that they figured this new thing out so easily.

When MJ and Chloe were small, I wanted to protect my precious stereo gear. I purchased sophisticated locks which would *surely* keep them out of the stereo cabinet. I was barely started on installing the second lock before they had foiled the first one which I had just finished installing. Well, darn! What little geniuses! All of them, all little geniuses. I frequently have to remind myself to simply stay out of their way as they discover the universe. You go, Z! You bring back memories!
