Baby Andrew Giggling
I heard one of the girls giggling a few days ago and it reminded me of this story. One of my goals with this Blog is to help me remember stories like this, so this is more for me than for anyone else reading it. If you enjoy it, then we have a win-win.
When Andrew was born, we lived in a 2 level townhouse. At the top of the stairs, we had a sliding wooden door to keep the kids upstairs (or at least the one kid we had at the time) when we did not want them to go down. However, we didn't have anything similar at the bottom.
This story occurs when Andrew is old enough to crawl but not walk. Maybe 6 months old? He was definitely old enough to understand that he was NOT ALLOWED to crawl on the stairs without a parent helping him.
On this particular day, Mom was really tired. It was mid-day and she decided to cuddle with Andrew on the livingroom floor downstairs and have him take a nap. Andrew seemed cooperative.
The next thing Mom knew, she was waking up to the sound of giggling. At first she wasn't sure what woke her up (or why she had fallen asleep). Then she heard some rustling and more giggling. Andrew was up a few steps on the staircase. As he went up a step, he would stop and giggle.
The boy learned to push limits at a young age. He just hadn't gotten the concept of stealth.

I have vague memories of that kind of Andrew behavior.
We still tell people about the 5:00 o'clock one tho. That was pretty good.
