Higher Ground

Far too often during the past few weeks Brother has been caught red handed with a cookie. He thinks he's being sneaky, but as a mom I can see past his stealth. First of all, the pushing of a chair into the cupboard never sounds suspicious. Not to mention the rattling wrappers, a slamming cupboard door, hop down from the chair, and lighting quick steps back to the couch. Call me Sherlock, but I'm on to him.

That is why all treats and otherwise sweet and tempting goodies are making their way to higher ground. From now on it will take a small step ladder for him to reach the goods.

But treats aren't the only thing around here moving upwards. Sissy was cheered on by her Dad as she ascended 7 stairs. Only a dad would offer such encouragement. I quickly snatched her up and moved her back to level ground. Stairs can be so mean to little, unstable bodies.
