Oh no...

I'm in so much trouble.

This girl is super cute but...
 She just discovered the art of climbing on to the couch.
Something I have dreaded but knew was coming.  

She gets up there, gets a huge grin on her face and runs 
across, often crawling up on the arm or leaning her whole
body over the arm.  All the while shrieking with laughter.
 Today I walked into the living room after her sister,
the safety police, started yelling to me something was 
wrong and caught Norah just getting up on the glass
coffee table.  She jumped to her feet and RAN 
across with no regards at all for the edges or gravity or
anything, least of all me screaming at her.
I try to scold her and put her in time out. 

She thinks the whole thing is a game.  

She thinks she is freaking hilarious! 

I think I have a few more gray hairs.  

I wish I knew what to do to stop her.

Over and over these scenarios played out again 
and again today. 

I'm telling you, we are in trouble. 
Serious trouble.

Oh no...especially with the glass table thing. Do they have guards you can put up so that's a little more difficult for her to get on the table? It may be worth just taking it down until she gets a little older. That's some scary stuff!

I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me...
