The end of innocence

So there I was...

(That one's for you, Jessie.)

Anyway, I was in the kitchen doing dishes, when I paused for a moment to go find Madeline and make sure she wasn't making a battering ram to bring down the gate, or spider-climbing up the walls, or spitting up into the vent. And this is what I find:


Madeline had climbed up into her bouncer, and then used it to climb up the entertainment center to get things off of the second and third shelves, to which I had moved forbidden items like cards and the like after discovering she could reach the first shelf from the floor. I didn't know whether to be proud or horrified. I knew she was too smart for her own good. And mine. Now that we're into climbing days, nothing is safe.
