Boys. Yes, I know.
Apparently, this means trying, in every conceivable way, to harm oneself. Such as stacking some plastic bins on the sofa and then climbing up onto them, using the coffee table, which you somehow managed to push up to the sofa’s edge with your brute 2-year-old strength, as a step stool.
Right before I snapped this picture, I caught him trying to STAND on top of them, and yelled, "HEY! Knock that off!"
I’m telling you, if I manage to get this boy to adulthood in one piece, I will feel like mother of the year.

Oh, honey. Testify.
I used to put a bike helmet on my son when he wanted to jump off the steps or the couch… he never hurt his head!
He looks so happy and proud of himself. LOL. He is such a cutie!
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, but I never comment. Well, I thought I would today. I think this behavior is just normal for boys. I have two boys (they are 5 and 2) and no girls and they do crazy stuff like that every day. Oh, and they wrestle each other nonstop too…NON STOP! hehehe Its challenging for sure, but fun too.
I am always so glad to see other mommies posts like this! I have three sons, one who is still a newborn, so thankfully he doesn’t wrestle and rough house and jump all over the furniture like his older brothers yet! I too think the same thing as your last comment.
I hear you. I can’t decide whether my sons (2 and 4) are trying to kill themselves or destroy the house. Or both.
