Being a Big boy and testing the waters!

Today my son who is 1 decided that he will only sit in his highchair for a limited time then at his discretion will stand up in his highchair!. We are struggling to keep him seated! I turned my head and he was reaching for the sink , oh my boy dont worry your time will come to do the dishes.     
          Jack is what we call "testing the waters/ or limits". Sometimes I find it hard not to laugh tho when he is so freaking cute!!, but then I think he is beginning to know this and use it as one of his super powers!! He loves to touch something he shouldn't, stop look at you and smile with the biggest grin ever!.....Oh man if this keeps up I will be in big trouble in the disciplinary department!
         Another test he has for us lately is the "No" factor, mind you we do try to use positive re-enforcement as much as we can. Jack will touch the air conditioner , then we say no a few times take him away maybe read a book and its like he has this whole plan to give us this mis direction and go right back to touching the air conditioner or whatever it is we have said no to. I mean how much is their brain really developing and how much can they really understand at this point (apparently a lot more than I was ready for  :)) Oh the joys of sweating in this heat wave.

But all in and all it is a great adventure to have another child who is so opposite then my first child, so many new adventures that I never new would be so exciting all over again!
