Houdini

This is our Houdini child. You might notice that her pajama's are safety pinned closed (with an old fashion diaper pin). That is because about 6 months ago she decided that getting naked was more important than obeying Mom and Dad. After several months of training and to eliminate some temptation in her life and ours we resorted to safety pinning her closed. At first we used a regular safety pin, that only worked a few days. You might also notice that the pin has to go through the snap tab at the top of the pjs. That is because even with it safety pinned closed she can still get herself out of it. I started realizing her skill and the perseverance in her life when I found her (on several occasions) naked and the pjs were still pinned at the top.








The second skill our girl possesses is in driving. She can move her crib across her room. She is quite talented at this. She holds the railing, leans back and throws her body forward. Using this momentum she can get across the room rather quickly. Which is why her crib is now attached to the wall (on two corners). We did have 40 pounds of weights on legs but this also didn't work for long.

I really can't imagine what she is going to be like at age 5.

What in the world! That's hilarious! I know probably not to you- but my goodness-isn't she something! :O) I'll start praying that this determination/perseverance will be used for wonderful and mighty things of the Lord in the future!!!
