On Friday afternoon, Ben pushed a chair up to the counter to play with the dishes I had washed earlier and put on the rack to dry. He was entertaining himself nicely with a water bottle and some straws, so I stepped out of the room for a few minutes to use the washroom (alone, in peace). When I came back, Ben had climbed up onto the kitchen counter, opened the cupboard doors and was taking out my glasses, one by one. I took this video before removing him from danger (please note, I was close enough to catch him if he happened to slip while I was filming).
Ben is brave and he loves to climb and explore the world. I’m going to thank our long winter indoors for his advanced mountaineering skills.
