Exploring the Tea Table
Since becoming mobile, Lautje has spent many of his hours of freedom on the floor exploring every nook and cranny of the apartment, looking for things he's not allowed to have and that we forgot to hide. The other morning, as I was babysitting and generally trying to keep him out of trouble, for no apparent reason, he decided to climb literally into the tea table. It was cute, entertaining, and completely illogical, so I decided to take a few photos, one of which can be seen directly below.Well, as I was happily snapping away, laughing, and generally congratulating myself on my good luck, I completely failed think through the logic of the situation. Lautje, being my son, is normally lazy, and only does things if there is a significant incentive to be gained (knowledge, trouble to cause, something new to see, etc...). It wasn't until I took the photo below that I realized why he'd climbed into the table. See if you can spot it...
The cord hanging down behind his head. For some reason (probably that we never let him have them to play with), Lautje is uncontrollably drawn to electrical cables. And even though he was distracted by something else briefly in this photo, he soon regained his focus and almost beat me to it. Alas, his mean father took the cord away, which probably caused untold amounts of psychological damage that he'll have to deal with later on in life...
