Drew and the Counter

Every one of my children have gone through that stage where they have been my shadow.  It is a stage that I don't particularly like, because I no longer have any personal space.  I find myself feeling very claustrophobic.  Drew is at that stage.  Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I often have to creatively find ways to get some space.  


One of those ways is letting him play on the kitchen counter.  As many moms do, I find myself in the kitchen A LOT.  Drew loves the kitchen, and having him at my ankles just wasn't working, so I began putting him on the counter.  While I am working, he lays on the counter, hangs off of it, and slides on his belly all over it.  It makes Matthew very nervous and I even had another mom worried about it.  But, what can one do?!  So, he continues to spend quite a bit of time on the counter and is learning a bit about cooking while he's at it.

I think that is a great idea! Cedric is the same way and I feel like I am constantly telling him to go away. I need to get creative to I guess!
