Today it was knives...

Micah is going to be very smart. I can already tell. At his young age, he is already showing what a problem solver he is.

He knows when he sees me lift a camera up that he needs to smile.

He knows that when Mommy calls everyone to the table it is time to eat. He will even tell us to "pay" when he thinks we are taking too long with setting out the food.

He has figured out that there are two doors from which you can leave the car, and he now prefers to exit from the side of the car that all the "big kids" get out of.

When he is thirsty and can't find his cup, he goes to the upstairs bathroom and finds the little disposable cups we use for the kids to take a sip of water at night, and he gets his own drink... from the toilet.

When he is hungry, he goes into the pantry and selects something of the shelf, like a bag of Craisens or a bag of Mrs. Mays nuts... if he can't find anything he eats carrots out of the rabbit's cage.

When he finds a door locked and he wants to open it, he finds something key-like and works on the doorknob until it opens... please forgive me if you are the one in the bathroom at the time.

Tonight, after Elliott and I returned home from our date, having made a quick stop by Costco for a few groceries, Micah noticed some Chobani yogurts in a case. He apparently wanted one. He is not verbal enough to tell us these things. So, he took matters into his own hands. He went to the drawer where we keep our utensils and got a knife (thankfully it was just a butter knife) and he used the knife to pry open the box and then stab into one of the yogurt containers to open it.

Yep.
My 22mo boy.
A
very
smart
and
curious
boy.
Sigh.
