My strong willed child

It only takes seconds for this child to climb from a flat surface to the top of my dining room table. Here she is happy as can be after accomplishing her challenge of the day. This little angel is a climber and there is no stopping her! She even stopped to say "cheese" to the camera before mommy had a heartattack thinking about her falling off onto my hardwood floors! Good news, she made it back down safe but made no promises that she will not attempt this feat again in the near future. Meet my strong willed child. Her next challenge? Probably Mount Everest. :)

"Strong willed children are more likely to change the world- after all, it is not likely that the world is going to change them!"
