Parker got himself into some trouble a little bit ago that he couldn't get out of on his own. He had independantly walked into another part of the house from where we were seated, and it was quiet, so we knew that he wasn't pulling out our CDs or DVDs or playing with the water in the bathroom. A few moments later we heard a small crash followed by what seemed to be a call for help.
Parker had opened and upended a bottle of baby shampoo in the bathroom, and had subsequently slipped in it. His little body was anchored against the wall by head and arm, and he knew that he needed help to right himself. No harm done, except that I'm now out two-thirds of a bottle of shampoo, Parker has had a total of two baths today, and I'm getting to do that extra load of laundry I had hoped to work in. My bathroom floor is really shiney, too.
I don't know why the bathroom door wasn't closed, or whether he got the door open on his own. I'm just glad that there wasn't any serious damage.

Charlie is so pleased with himself that he can now open and shut doors at will. He sometimes will open and shut one repeatedly. It's a pain as far as knowing where he is and what he's up to without being able to see him, and boy, is our house big.
Yesterday he climbed on a chair, got ahold of some metallic permanent markers, and did a scrawling freestyle sketch on the outer case of our laptop. Craig said he thought it actually looked kind of cool, and I had to agree, but it is a disturbing trend. When we had just one child, it was easy enough to control the environment (keep away all small objects, markers, etc., put plastic doorknob covers over the doorknobs so he couldn't open them). With 3 now, it's much harder to be that limiting. In fact, I don't even try too hard anymore.
