Reaching New Heights

Jack has been a little slow in catching the climbing bug, and I certainly haven't encouraged him. He has been safely living life on the ground, and his little arms were limited in the heights he could reach. Not anymore!!! He has figured out how to climb most anything. He moves chairs to get to the things he really wants.

Apparently, Jack really wanted to learn about how light switched worked, so he had to move a chair over. It didn't take him long to figure out what the switches did. He sat there for a good half hour turning the lights on and off as I cooked dinner.

And he was VERY proud of himself!

The couches are no longer safe. His first few tries, he had to move his little chair over to the couch and climb up. No more.....he stretches his little leg as high as it will go, and climbs right up.

If chairs, couches, tables, and countertops weren't high enough, how about ladders??? He can scale right to the top!

He's not quite sure what to do once he gets to the top, but again....he was very proud of himself.

Jack has also discovered how much he loved riding the 4-wheeler with Grandpa. Every time we go to grandma and grandpa's house, Jack heads to the garage to see the "for-for". Bryan had Jack out for a ride and it was a little chilly, so he had the hood, and the helmet. I guess it's not about looks. Safety first. :)

He sure had a good time riding with his Daddy!


I'm thrilled to death that we are within 10 days of April 15th. I can't wait to work 40 hours per week again. I'm also looking forward to reclaiming my Saturdays. Jack is thrilled that Grandma and Grandpa Christensen have returned from 2 weeks in Europe. He had major withdrawls and would get so sad when we went to their house to get the mail, or water Grandma's plants. I think that Grandma and Grandpa missed him just as much.
