Third child craziness

So the third child has been a new and different experience, as were the 1st and 2nd children in their own ways.  Our experience has been that the 3rd, wants to do everything the bigger kids are doing right now.  When he was just little bitty he couldn't wait to eat what they were eating they way they were eating it, if they had a whole taco, he wanted a whole taco, if they were playing in the yard he had to play in the yard, he would not be satisfied with playing on the gated deck.  if they had big kids, he would absolutely refuse to drink from his sippy...and so it has gone, on and on. 

So yesterday they were all playing outside in the yard, and I looked out to see Ezra standing in the play house part of the play set....and I did not put him there...so that means he climbed up... all by himself...it does not have stairs, or even rungs like on a ladder...Honestly, I freaked out a little bit and ran out there fearing I would watch him tumble off before I could get there. Got out there and realized he was ok, stood behind him while he did it a few times and then ran to get my video camera!

So I am still freaked out, I can't let him be out there alone, he just isn't aware enough of his surroundings to not just step right off the side and crash to the ground...but he will not be deterred, and he's actually a lot better at getting up there than the other 2 were, and at least 6 mo's younger too...

Guess I can't hold him back, no matter how much I want too
