Ok. Enough of the cutesy notes and whimsical ponders from "Benj". This calls for a little straight talk from his Dad. I know that we are on month 7 in the life of this little boy...BUT this is ridiculous. Nowhere in the "
Welcome to Parenthood: the handbook for all questions you may have while raising your newborn" [
you know the one that all of us received along with the warranty information when we first acquired our child ;)]...did they tell you that your son would invoke fear and trembling as he pulls himself up over and over again. While the act of pulling himself isn't such a shock (although definitely awe-inspiring)...the idea that he is doing this to find "better" toys is appalling. The living room floor could not be more covered and cluttered by some of the best toys our friends and family provided. But apparently Benj believed we were holding out on him, as he now pulls himself up by the toy chest in search of "the goods". Where did he learn this? Who's bright idea was it to have this little bundle of joy begin to exert his personality and will, especially if it differs from his folks?
