Ryan is a monkey. I would have thought he was half mommy and half daddy. Nope, he is a monkey.
I remember when Ryan was very young and I was talking with Derek on the phone. He was telling me, or warning me, about what Ryan would be like in a year. Derek was telling me just how much Jordan was climbing on everything. I still remember laughing really hard when Derek told me that Jordan would get up and run away during a diaper change… I never thought Ryan would do the exact same thing.
Anyway, Ryan climbs everything he can. When I take him to the park, he prefers to climb up the slide rather than to slide down.
Ryan has been complaining for quite some time because he needs help to get up on the couch. He can’t get up on our couch by himself. I guess our couch is a bit higher than other couches as he can climb up on all the other couches. Well, Ryan has figured out a nifty little way to get up on the couch all of the time, now.
Well, actually, it isn’t a very safe way for him to get up. We will need to move his chair away – the only problem with that is he will just try to climb up on whatever else the chair is leaning on, or for that matter if we didn’t lean the chair against a wall, he would climb up to the top and it would fall over.
Nothing is safe from monkeyman!
