Getting Into Trouble

As part of her scheme of gaining more and more mobility every day, as well as getting taller, so that she can, while standing, reach the top of the table, Margaret has also gained the ability to get into trouble.

I first noticed that we had a problem when she began to crawl speedily towards the open dining room door, and then if she didn't hear me coming after her, would stop, turn around, grin wickedly, and wait to be chased.  She has learned how to be bad.

She has also learned how to get what she wants.  Yesterday morning, she lifted her fence up and got the vacuum cleaner cord to play with.

And then last night at her grandparents' house, she took a turn at climbing the stairs.

And then got down again, without falling too much.

2011 is clearly going to be an interesting year.
