Trouble

That's right, we should have just named her Tabitha "Trouble" Rohner. This girl is a climber who makes mess after mess after mess. She is constantly getting into trouble... and she's fast. If someone forgets to lock the front door she gets out and takes off, making a beeline for the street. I thought for sure that i was going to go into labor the other day when I was chasing her in the street. I didn't, but I'm sure it was hysterical for the neighbors to watch. She thinks she's so funny when she does things like this.

If Tabitha is not in the same room with you then it's a pretty safe bet you can find her in one of the bathroom sinks. She uses all sorts of tricks to get up on the bathroom counters and then sits in the sink and turns the water on. It's highly annoying.
These pictures were taken when she first started sitting in the sinks, and before she learned how to turn the water on.

We changed the boys beds into bunk beds about a month ago and the same day they went up, she learned how to climb to the top bunk. Does she use the ladder? Nope. She climbs up on the ends where all the vertical slats are. Her Nana started watching her do this one day and then walked out of the room and said, "I can't watch this." I could take Tabitha down and tell her NO, but she'll just keep going back, so there's really no point. She'll need to fall a time or two to figure out that it's dangerous. The problem is, she never falls. She gets to the top bunk and then just hangs out up there until someone comes to take her down. I've seen her try to use the ladder to get down, but she is too scared, go figure.


We had some new pennant lights installed in our kitchen, along with a fan in the boys room awhile ago. Tabitha couldn't resist making a bigger mess with the mess the electricians made. Drywall dust is not easy to clean up either.



She has enough confidence to climb up the playground and go down the slide by herself. Don't let the skirt fool you... she's not very lady-like.
