has discovered doorknobs. Thankfully, he has to stand on tiptoe with his arm completely extended above his head in order to place his hand on the doorknob. This means he cannot exert enough torque to actually turn the knob :) for small blessings, we are truly grateful!This is new behavior as of Thursday- I had a planning meeting for the women's group at church. At my house, since Jared is in Pennsylvania [or is it Georgia?- he's visiting both...] this week, and the CPS frowns on leaving 9,7,4,and/or 1-year-olds home without adult supervision. We were in the midst of a rather serious discussion when I heard clicking. I look down the stairs to the front door, and there was my smallest child trying to escape :). "Myles!" and he turned around and said "hmmm?" and then *grinned* his 'showing all my teeth' grin. I am SO glad our entire yard is fenced. Of course, Myles can climb... *sigh* that's the problem w/kids. You figure out how to contain them, and they figure out how to escape. And I'm at a disadvantage, since I'm outnumbered :).
Oh, and I just have to document, in writing, that Walker was awesome today. He was a great help- did his jobs and homework, and helped Hyrum get his jobs done, too. What a great kid he is!

You know, the first child is great...no older siblings teaching them how to open doors and the like...Michael is opening doors with ease, more than a year earlier than Christopher did. He climbs way more, too:)
I foresee way high-up locks on the insides of your doors to keep this one contained, lol!
