One kid's fear is another one's joy

What's the punishment for throwing toys up on the ledge in our entryway? You have to go and get them if you want them back! For Gabe, he's kind of excited at first, then he gets about halfway up the ladder and freaks out. The climb down is complete torture.

For Grace, on the other hand, this is not a fitting punishment. She didn't throw any toys up there, but she was more than happy to climb the ladder. We had to stop her from going any higher.

Now everyone is happy (except for me who still thinks this isn't a toy... isn't there a statistic about the most common household accidents out there?)

Yikes!!! That is all I have to say. I would have been a mess watching this. I am proud of you for being able to take a picture.

HAHA! I love my little Gracie. That is hilarious. What a great punishment though (not for grace obviously). I'll have to remember that when we are in a house big enough for flying toys! HA. Well... my problem is elle throwing toys over the gate DOWN stairs. Hmmm... :)

I always get butterflies in my stomach when I see anyone on a ladder.
