Mom and dad gave Michelle a trip to Germany to visit us for her graduation present. I was so excited, I had not seen any of my family for a year and a half. She came in the fall and we had a great time together. She was great company for me when Dave would work such long hours or go to the field. Danny adored her, he was all over her whenever she would sit down. She just ate that up, she loved it. If she was sitting in the easy chair with a sandwich, he would shinny up her leg with his little mouth open for a bite.
It was around this time that Danny started getting out of his crib with a thud. I would put him back to bed and no more get to the living room and we would hear another thud. After a few times, I handed him to Michelle and had her keep him out in the living room while I hid in his room, so I could see how in the world he was getting out. She brought him in and put him in the crib, went out the door and he was at it again. What he was doing is using tiptoes on the bumper pad, bending over the side of the rail at the waist and falling on his head---thud!!! Michelle and I unstacked the bunkbeds and he started sleeping in a twin bed with side rails. He didn't stay in bed then either but at least he didn't have so far to fall on his little head. He soon learned to turn his body around and come out feet first.

The falling on my head explains so much! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd my love of Aunt Michelle has never gone away, although I rarely shimmy up her for food. :-)
