Looking at our little 14-month old Veronika, she has the sweetest angelic little face. But the child has been TROUBLE lately! She has turned into a climber and tries to climb anything and everything. The problem with climbing is that she cannot always figure out how to get down safely which results in lots of bruises on her hands & face. Poor baby.
A few days ago, Matthew & I walked in on her sitting on our coffee table. She pulled up her purple Dora chair and climbed up. So of course we removed the chair, hoping that would stop her. But noooo… the child just went & climbed up without the chair. She has very strong upper body and can pull herself up unto anything. She also climbs on Natasha’s wooden picnic table & bench and doesn’t always make it down safely… she has a purple bruise on her forehead. She tries to climb everything in the playground and gets very upset when I pull her down because it isn’t safe for little munchkins like her.
She also looooves dropping stuff in the toilet. She has a tendency to sneak behind Natasha when she uses the bathroom and drop items into the bowl… the worst yet was her sippy cup. Veronika knows all the routines we have in the house and manages to stay on top of them. Very sneaky. She also loves throwing items in the trash can and gets really upset if I don’t let her. Diapers, sure. Toys… um, no.
Here she is, sitting on our coffee table, hugging Iggle-Piggle. She calls him “pickle-pickle”.
