Good-bye Coffee Table

Last weekend, we had to say good-bye to our coffee table. I will admit, it is nice having the extra space in our living room for the boys to run around in, but do miss it. But not to worry, it's not forever.

Brody has decided that the coffee table is a wonderful stage, place to dance, place to sit, and even body slam. It's true! He would back up to the edge and then fall forward, kind of like a belly flop, onto the table. He thought it was hilarious. I on the other hand did not. So, before something horrible happened, we have relocated the coffee table to the basement in the spare bedroom.

It got to be so bad that I couldn't even do the dishes without turning around and finding him on top. Then, to make matters worse, Hunter started going on top of it. He figured if Brody could, he could. Hunter started jumping off of it and everything. Yikes! At least Brody didn't figure that part out.

So, for now it sits. But I don't think our problem is solved. Brody is a climber. He loves it. I have caught him on the window sill in our living room. He uses the baskets for his toys and books as a ladder. And now...wait for it! He is pulling out the chairs at the dining room table and can get up on them. But wait, it gets better. Today my dad was watching the boys and when I got home was told that Brody made it on top of the kitchen table!!!! Oh my goodness! Mild heart-attack! I will have to keep a close eye on him because we all know there is no way I can hide the kitchen table and chairs.
