Eli is getting smarter every day! This wily tot is forever developing strategies to get what he wants (things he can't/shouldn't have).
Situation: Laptop computer on the table (Eli: "I want it and I'm gonna get it")
Problem: All the chairs are pushed under the table except one that is slightly angled
1st Attempt (Green Arrow on diagram below): There is one gap where a chair is missing. Eli climbed up the side of the angled chair, but the side he got up caused him to get stuck under the table with his bum where the angled side was.
2nd and ingenious attempt (blue arrow): Climb on the chair on the opposite side of the gap, scooted under the table and across the top of five other chairs until he got back around to the angled chair where his head has pointed to the gap where he squeezed up and found himself victorious!
End: After such a long trip to get onto the table, Eli forgot WHY and didn't play with the computer but with whatever papers were up there.
Learning for mom and dad: If he learns so quick that he can conquer after only two tries, we better brush up on our battle tactics.

Too funny! Lynsie told me what happened in Sacrament meeting when you and Aaron were speaking. You are in for Trouble, but I'm sure I am too. Little Boys, so much fun, but SO mischevious!
Ha...that just makes me even more excited to see the little "Trouble" in 37 days!!!!!
that's awesome! Well, for him but scary for you. Babies are amazing. That's a cool little diagram too : )
