My 2 year old can climb higher than your 2 year old

Definitely, one of the coolest things about having a little one is watching them concentrate as they're learning something new and picturing their little wheels spinning like crazy. Kind of recently, for Paige, it's been doing things like climbing in or out of her car seat or climbing up into her high chair, etc. that have been little challenges that she wants to conquer, so we practice where she should put her feet and what to hold on to, and she loves it. Well, when the opportunity to bring Paige rock climbing came up, I knew she would think it was pretty cool. Boy, did we have fun! We went with friends, Andy and Emma, to Vertical Endeavors in St. Paul.




She's checking it all out

There goes Emma


Next is Paige's turn




After a couple of hours climbing in "the butterfly cave" (as she called the upstairs area), looking up at random times to see people climbing on the ceiling above you, pointing at the snakes (ropes) and climbing just about far enough that I couldn't reach her anymore, we headed home. She has already said that she want's to go climbing again so we'll have to have another go at it soon. What a blast!

Girl Talk

This morning. Paige sitting in the center of her beanbag chair.

Me: Hey Paigey! You look like a birdie in a nest!

Paige: Yeah! (reaches into her lap and under her butt) Here! You want a egg? (hands me an invisible egg)
Me: Okay!....you know....Paige, birdies don't eat the eggs that are in the nest....did you know that?

Paige: Blank stare.

Me: Yeah. Mama birds sit on the eggs that are in the nest to keep them very warm....and when they are ready, a baby chick will come out of the egg!





Paige: Like MY chick from the LIBRARY! (pictured above)

Me: That's right!

Paige: Smiling.

Me: Actually....Paige, do you know what birdies eat? They eat worms!

Paige: Not smiling.

Me: Nodding my head yes.
Paige: Nodding her head no.
Me: Wondering if somehow Paige is not ready to handle this new information.
Paige: Still shaking her head no.

Me: Actually...ya know what else birdies eat? Berries like the tree in the front yard!
Paige: Smiling & nodding yes.

Me: That's right! Birdies eat worms AND berries!

Paige: Reaching into her lap and under her butt. "Here Mommy! You want a berry?"

Me: ....Sigh....sure sweetie.


At Grandma's tonight.


Me: Paige, do you have to go potty?

Paige: Nope. I already went potty on Grandma's big potty....like a big girl.

Grandma: Yes, and Grandma is very proud of you sweetie.

Paige: Yeah....(pause)....Like a bumble bee!

Me, Grandma & Grandpa all look at each other....and then it hits me...

I'm bringin' home a baby Bumble Bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me...



In the car driving home tonight from Grandma's. Me driving, Paige in the back seat.

sniff sniff sniff sniff

Me: Paige, are you smelling something?

Paige: Yep. BunBun's ear.

Me: Oh. How's it smell?

Paige: Good.

sniff sniff sniff sniff

Paige: Mom?

Me: Yeah?

Paige: That's how dogs do, right?

Me: Um...yes, doggies say "sniff sniff".

Paige: Okay. Now I a dog okay?

Me: Okay.


Only about 30 more school days and then we can have these little talks ALL day, EVERY day!






I can't wait.
