New Tricks {Fav Foto Friday}

Guess what Milo learned how to do??!!

Hello tan lines!

Yeah.. mid-air.
This boy has no fear.

I was the privileged one to discover this new trick on Monday, when Matt was at a city council meeting.

About 10 minutes after I said the last goodnight to the kiddos, I heard a whimper.

I immediately thought Xandra got up (which is very unusual for her- she all but refuses to get out of bed, even if she needs to go to the restroom... we're working on that).

But I found Milo standing at the top of the steps.

As soon as I picked him up, he began crying.

Sobbing.

He couldn't calm down for 15 minutes.

Then he zoned out/shut down for another 15 minutes.

I think he scared himself.

So we had a good half hour of bonding time, while I assured him he was not in trouble.

However, he has been showing off practicing his new trick torture-technique skill for the past few days.

And our bedtime routine now includes a stern warning request begging him to remain in bed all night.

So far, so good... 

Since that first night, he's only practiced his climbing during daylight hours
(as Xandra watches & happily screeches "Do it again Milo! Do it again!").

We'll be shopping for a big-boy bed in the next few weeks.
