Trouble Maker

With the newness of mobility wearing off, Nate is starting to use his skills to cause a bit of trouble. Here are some of the things he's been up to...

1. About a week ago, Nate and I were playing downstairs in the family room. He sometimes wanders into the storage room and plays with the vacuum but doesn't usually cause any other trouble. A few minutes later, he came back into the family room dragging my OPENED bag of powdered sugar behind him. He was covered in powdered sugar and I spent the next half hour trying to vacuum the trail of mess.

2. Nate has recently learned how to climb. I have never had any experience with climbers but I've heard  plenty of stories and hoped I would never have to deal with one. No such luck! The problem is, he hasn't yet figured out how to get down from where he climbs so he has to cry for help. One evening, I walked into the kitchen and found this... 

He was totally happy playing in there with his toys :)

3. He has been super interested in playing with his shoes lately. This just means that I can NEVER find his shoes because he stashes them somewhere after he's done playing with them. The other morning, I had just finished getting him dressed after his bath and was cleaning up his room when I heard a little splash come from the bathroom. When I walked into the bathroom, there were 2 little shoes floating in the water. 

4. We put up our Christmas tree last Saturday. And this is what happened less than 5 minutes after we had it up...

                                      

Now only the top half of our tree is decorated 

5. This one isn't really catching Nate in any trouble...I just thought it was cute. This is the box from the little slide my parents got Nate. As you can see, he loves playing in it because it is still sitting in the middle of my living room 2 weeks later. This is where I usually find everyone's shoes, most of his toys, and him :)
