Why I'm Thin...

LEVI. Yes, Levi is my answer. Who needs a gym when they have a Levi? I think I get my cardio workout everyday just chasing this little man around. I am always finding him in random places. I decided to try to snap some shots of his climbing over the last few days. Believe me, I missed a lot because it's too dangerous to leave him to go find the camera! In fact, I was trying to get ready the other morning when I heard a huge crash and screaming. I run to the boys room (where all 3 were playing) to find the toy bin/shelf knocked over, toys everywhere, and Levi hanging from his pants!! He wasn't touching the ground at all!! Elliot tried to tell me Ezra was the one climbing it, but I find that VERY hard to believe since he barely lifts his feet off the ground...oh, and because he wasn't hanging mid-air by his pants! (Granted, Ezra was crying more than anyone. He's so sensitive-it's sweet!)

Here's some of Levi's climbing adventures w/ explanations:

Found is way in the laundry basket. This is not bad!
Playing in the airplane. (He is usually standing on the wing or in some other precarious position)If you look closely, you'll notice only one leg. Why? Because the other one is on the outside of the climber on the screen porch enclosure-where he likes to hang out with his whole self!If Elliot's bedroom door is left open, you can bet Levi will be climbing up on her bed. We were in there for over an hour the other day while he just climbed up, rolled off, climbed up, etc. etc. Ezra sat and played nicely on the floor ;-)
Taking a break from climbing on the bed to knock over El's step stool, climb up it, and try to tear down her lamp!
A few days ago I had to move the porch table to the corner to limit his access to the chairs. As you can see, one chair is already on TOP of the table to keep him from climbing it. Obviously my plan failed. He went UNDER the table and wiggled his way up on the chair. He is SOO VERY PROUD! Guess the table/chairs will be going to the garage (or the garbage). ugh!
Started getting them ready, got side tracked cleaning the kitchen, look out on the porch, and he's climbed ANOTHER chair and was rocking it back and forth. Scary!
Made them come inside for a bit...and he finds the desk chair that I had put in the corner thinking he would not climb. Wrong!
I was in the playroom getting Ez dressed when Elliot comes out to inform me that Levi is on the 2nd shelf of the changing table.
Levi sitting in the exercauser after climbing the changing table. Looks quite innocent....
until you know he climbed in there himself!!!
ANYONE WANNA COME BABYSIT? You can just consider it a weight loss plan...chasing crazy man, and keeping 2 others cared for and happy!
