[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD’s little friend is like this. They took every stick of furniture out of the living room. The next day they found him on top of the fireplace mantle. He was 2.[/quote] Oh man. I found my 20 month old on the mantle today. He pushed a side table over and climbed. We are on him like white on rice but he just is... adventurous. We love it and do encourage it because it’s his true nature. It’s tiring though. I do think if he had an older wild brother, he’d be 10x worse. As it is, he had a very mellow, gentle older sister. Tonight he begged for his toes to be painted navy because she had hers done. He also “tries” a lot more arts and crafts than I’m sure he’d like. He also sits through princess films and gentle books (he would prefer the poop book!). I think they all have essential natures but I do think there’s wiggle room in making them see other ways. My boy is WILD. He’s 75th percentile weight and 100th height. I know he’ll be a big wild guy too. I just hope to make sure he’s well rounded when he makes it there. My husband is extremely athletic (I can tell my kids have his body type) but neither of us were wild. I loved books and dolls. Hah I would also think you’re lucky that your boys have each other to get in trouble and get wild with. Just channel it outside if you can. Anyways, bounce houses, obstacle courses, balance bikes (mine can already ride a trike full speed), and slip and slides. Jello “digs” have been a huge hit (make jello in a casserole dish and put dinosaurs and trucks in)1 and legos. My son loves legos already and I know it’s young but it really entertains. We really need walks twice a day. [/quote]
