How NOT to train your dog...I mean...child...

If you happened to walk by our house when the windows are open, you'd hear this...

"Sit.  Sit, CJ.  Sit down.  Sit!"

If you didn't know any better, you'd think we were training a new puppy.

But that isn't any puppy we are talking to.  It is our monkey of a climber, Claudia.

If only there was such a thing as obedience school for one year olds!

Here she is standing on a recliner.

Now standing on the couch.

 Standing again in yet another chair.

And attempting to balance herself in a folding princess chair.

Sweetie pie Kate tells CJ to "sit like this."  But that doesn't help.

Instead little miss monkey will laugh in your face.

 And then give you a wonky eye...

Then she'll probably double over in laughter...

And finish with a super cute, gotta-love-me grin.

That girl!
