Monkeys

My boys are all little monkeys. ZB (8) at 10 months old climbed onto my babysitter's dining room table. He now easily scales the poles of street signs and climbs up the door posts in seconds. SD (7) is also extremely capable of climbing, but less into it. CS(2) is definitely following in his brothers' footsteps.

We got a bunkbed for the big boys this past summer. CS begs to go on the top bunk which I rarely let. Even supervised he hangs over the sides, sits on the edges and jumps. As a result, we never put up the ladder that came with the beds, and ZB who sleeps on the top bunk, just climbs up the side of the bed frame. Well ZB put him on top of a full hamper and CS figured out how to climb up the side of the bedframe. The other day, CS figured out how to climb on top of the hamper which was full and get up 100% by himself. As we did laundry yesterday, the hamper was empty this morning. CS really wanted up, but the hamper wasn't helping. He found something else to stand on to get him started and within minutes was up on the top bunk!
