what's going on?

Something about the change in environment during our vacation spurred the girls into development. There have been some changes around here.

Canon has outsmarted the safety gadget on the door. She now walks in and out of the house freely. (She's a good kid and usually asks, but still...it's weird.)

She also has started deciding when she is ready to take a nap. She says she is tired, walks up stairs, closes the door and gets in bed. I'm still a little shocked. And it's throwing off my schedule. I had the girls napping at the same time, but Canon's initiative has things off kilter.

Elly is now officially a climbing machine. She learned to climb the stairs. And yesterday I walked out of a room and walked back in a minute later to find her standing in a chair. I really wish I could have seen that in progress, because even now I'm not sure how she did it.

So I guess I won't be able to sit around here eating bon bons all day anymore. These kids actually need supervision now.
