This past week Vai’s been climbing on to LOTS of things. Our bed. Toy boxes. Our sofa. Bedside table (then onto our TV cabinet).

Really. It’s quiet an adrenaline rush for me to see him doing all his stunts.

[We never experience this with Anya in her first 2 years, you see]

We don’t quickly carry him down and back to the floor though. We let him explore and test his own balancing skills while watching over him from a close distance. It’s only when we think it’s getting too dangerous for a 9-month-old baby to do that we distract him with another activity.

With something that’s much closer to ‘ground level’, I mean.
