sitting pretty

manning loves getting up and down, in and out and opening and closing.  seriously, he is hysterical.  so tonight's adventure was on and off the bench.  it makes me a little nervous because the bench can tip over and is very heavy so i can't turn away for a second.  and there is no distracting him once he has picked his challenge.  watching him it is a little like he is trying to always beat his personal best time.  he tries different techniques, gets frustrated the second it doesn't go his way and once he completes the task he scrambles back to try again.

it is probably going to be good that i will have some alone time with him for constant supervision while the others are at school.  love.
