Climber

Oliver is a mischievous boy. This is what I catch him doing every time I leave him in the front room (I know, I know, "so don't leave him" right? If you're thinking that, you're NOT a parent because the truth is, if I stayed by his side every second, I would get even less done than I already do and I would probably lose my mind): What you're not seeing in the picture is Oliver shaking his head--because he knows he's not supposed to be climbing up on the table. Notice the fingerprints on the television--those aren't mine.
And of course he has to practice his balancing act by walking across the table--my heart leaps out of my chest every time I find him teetering on the edge.

Dear Santa,

please bring me a big house and a hutch for the TV.
