Too Smart For Her Own Good!

We have found Meighan on top of the kitchen table at least a couple of times since we've come home. We had to move the one chair so it was harder for her to get onto it and then onto the table. Well, yesterday the chair was not pushed all the way in so she found her way up onto the kitchen table and my glasses were up there. She knows how to get the case open and she bent my glasses out so far that we had to make a trip to the mall last night to get them fixed. They will do for now because they are only my reading glasses.

Then, also last night after we got home from the mall, Meighan decided she wanted to be in her high chair. She has figured out how to push the chair that the high chair is strapped to over to the red stool and climb the stool and then over to the high chair. We've had boxes on the red stool for a while which has prevented this...until now. We also have two bar stools under the island and Meighan pushes them around just for something to do. Last night, she pushed one of them OVER TO THE HIGH CHAIR, climbed it and then climbed into the high chair!!!! I told Tony he needed to come see what his daughter did. He came into the kitchen and saw the situation and said "she's too smart for her own good!"

We've also been trying to get her to stay in childcare at church, partly for the socialization and partly so that I might be able to take her to Bible Study while Tony stays home and gets some things done. We tried again today and she lasted most of the service! We got the pager buzz right at the end of the sermon. Hopefully she will last longer next week.

We went to the Nebraska State Fair on Tuesday and Meighan finally got to see some BIG horses up close. We saw some Perscherons (sp?) and, of course, the Clydesdales. Wow! Those are BIG horses! We had some ice cream and ate lunch that was better than the normal state fair fare. It was quite a nice day weather wise and I'm glad we went because this was the last fair in Lincoln. Next year it will move to Grand Island, which is a longer drive and I doubt I'll go as often when it moves.

We found a winter coat for her today. It's too big but it's only a 12-month size! She might even be able to wear it NEXT winter!

Enjoy the pictures in the next post.
