Sydney has been very good about being careful on our stairs, but we’re still always a bit nervous when she is on them. We have a long set of stairs, and they are somewhat steep, so we don’t let Sydney play around on them. She has to try to play on them, of course, so a little bit ago, she decided she wanted to crawl down the stairs face first. Emily told her that she couldn’t. The two year old personality in her had to ask “Why?”, so Emily explained that she could fall down the stairs and get hurt. The two year old in her that always has to have a comeback asked, “Well, would you kiss me better?” Pretty sound logic to me! Mommy says I can’t go down the stairs this way because I can get hurt, but if I get hurt, all Mommy has to do is kiss me! We smirked a little bit (no laughing – that only encourages them), and I asked Sydney, “Are you feeling a little rambunctious?” (I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know what that means…) She thought a second, and said, “Yes, I’m feeling a little rambunctious.”

Never a dull moment!
